Ewout_vB: IMNSHO the best performing readily buildable block is the Rotor design that so many in this thread have been pointing you at.. Your designi is not going to do well because it has to many thermal interfaces (solder joints) each of which is going to cost you a thermal penalty.

But if i use silver solder and still have all of the copper tubes touching it might decrease a little but it shouldnt be that much would it?

The other way would be to drill smaller than 2mm holes in a copper block, but is that even possible without breaking your drill bit 2 million times?
