Cooling question

[RedRed]

Hello all

I was bored in work and have thought of a way to cool my eagerly anticipated P. Please tell me if this has been done before, I cant think I have seen it anywhere....

OK its liquid cooling - people with no intrest - move along now

I was wondering if I were to attach a slieve directly to the heat spreader of the P, then a lid of some sort (I can get my hands on some good copper) with baffles descending into the slieve, could I be on to a winner? I know I would have to attach the slieve in a watertight way to both the lid and the surface of the heatspreader, and that the surface area of the heatspreader would not be ideal (its flat), but if the lid had an adequate baffle for the water, spreading out the flow , would this work? Has it been tried before? I was thinking that doing away with a base, as such, might keep my PCI slots free. this could make a slimmer HSink....


something like this:

                 -----------------
                 I...../ . \ . /  I
           -----...\./.. \ ./ ...-----------
                 I. ......\....   I
                ___________

or maybe:

                  -----------------
                  I      o o        I
              -----   O O O   .-----------
                   I      o o      I
                   ___________

Where the 'o' are tubed of copper with radial fins lathed out of them, touching the GPU surface.... so they would look like:

..I
------
..I
-----
..I
-----

Any Ideas?

I need a new project....... and I have no experience of liquid cooling...
