I've been through a dozen different materials, when selecting one for my "Radius" waterblock, and I finally opted for silicone. Does cyanoacrylate (aka super glue) work well with silicone?
I don't know. I don't see why not. Let us know when you find out.

I tried my P4 direct die block on a normal p4 (IHS still attached) with good results, unfortunatly I couldn't compare temps since both the cpu and mobo we're different (and we know how accurate cpu temps are anyway...)

I don't know about actually drilling cups into the IHS, but divots shouldn't be a problem to do , personally I'd simply attack the IHS with a brass wire wheel to roughen the surface up, that way you simply have to lap it to enable re-use of "traditional" cooling later on.

Yes, it depends on the material used. It also depends on the fluid(s) you are using as they may deteriorate the superglue over time. Wouldn't that suck?

I make O-rings here at work quite often, but for vacuum purposes. No liquids involved.

You have to make sure that both surfaces you cut are very flat so they mate together properly. You should also sand the cut ends with some fine grit sandpaper (400 - 600 grit) lightly so that the superglue will melt into the surface better and provide a better bond. Clean the ends with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and then some acetone on a q-tip (if you have acetone). You NEED to have the ends clean if you want a satisfactory superglue joint. You do not want the superglue to form a layer on the outer surface of the O-ring as that will compromise the compression in that area of the O-ring, so wipe off any excess that squeezes out. You don't really need to cut the O-ring material at an angle (I just cut straight across for vacuum seals), but it will make for a slightly stronger joint if you do cut it at an angle.

Exactly.

I selected silicone as it was the cheapest, and the one compatible with all the fluids I was considering, at the time: glycols, methanol, water, etc...

Maybe this article could help you.

http://www.upload.cooling-store.de/Fluidus/V1/start.htm

I'm sorry it's only in German, but google will help you.

The have a waterblock you're talking about since 2000

that is interesting, but not what is trying to be accomplished here. That cpu has no IHS and the waterblock has no jet impingement.

Actually there are different waterblocks, and only the first one, as far as I remember has no jets

but yes there is no IHS, but I thought maybe it will help you
