So... I got bored yesterday  and thought "Hey, why don't I make a waterblock from that ol' LGA 1366 stock heatsink that's totally useless since the fan broke".
Well here's what I have so far: 
 
 
I chopped off that nasty fan but left the mounting system on the heatsink (if it doesn't have enough mounting pressure i'll throw a steel X bracket with spring loaded bolts to hold it in place).
 
8" (I think) 3/8 ID 1/2 OD Copper pipe
 
And that little mutilated 1.5" 1/4 ID 3/8 OD pipe is supposed to be a flow disruption thingy that fits in the center of that 3/8 ID pipe which slows the water and allows it to absorb more heat as it passes through (that's the idea anyway, don't really know if it will work or not).
 
I still need to cut away some of the aluminum fins and drill a hole through the side to fit the 1/2 OD pipe and make some minor tweaks, but i'll do that tomorrow.
 
So, tell me what you think of this crazy idea that was spawned by boredom (suggestions are welcome).

    I think you need more time to think and more parts !

    Of course, still need the fittings and stuff, but this is roughly what I was thinking:

    I did some more work on it  (cut out fins, drilled 1/2 hole through the side, and pipe is inserted as a test fit; fits very well):


     
    I still need to cut the pipe to size, solder on some 90 degree elbows, and possibly get some brass barb fittings. 
     
    I think it looks pretty good so far.
