I'm in my exams so I've got some time to think about that. why couldn't I use an impingment on the die of the CPU, and a #rotor block on the sides of it?

We’ve played with the concept with mixed results. To drive the water toward the bottom of the block our design uses the pins as a sort of guide. Its not as good as a tube carrying the water and releasing it right above the core but it works to an extent. One of our early designed had the pins around the core that extended to the top of the inlet and the rest were half the size of the height of the inner chamber. This was good for flow (made the block less restrictive) but concerns over the boundary layer won out. The Pins all around the block help to minimize the boundary effect throughout the block by creating turbulence . This of course is not necessary for above core cooling were the only area of concern is above the core.
