I will see what I can manage, I'm not too good at machining but maybe I can work with you to make a bottom and use this at the top? why re invent the wheel when you can use your resources xD. keep up the good work
  Rig specs coming soon...

I know it's probably been asked already at least twice, but I'm not gonna read through 7 pages to find out. How much for a socket 1366?

I can make it any socket, as long as I get the hole placement dimensions. I still have to input some more R&D into the block, then finalize a design & test the crap out of it.

Honestly, I am not sure. The raw materials won't be all that much compared to full blown chipset waterblocks, but this will be pretty labor and tooling extensive. I will need very fine endmills, and slitting saws to do the precision work I envision.
I am actually designing a new CNC machine just so I can get the accuracy I am looking for to build these. I have already purchased most of the parts and they are slowly coming in. Unfortunately that will be mean some down time while I machine all the parts necessary, but its a machine building another machine.

Thanks! glad you like it. I have ordered parts for a machine to build these. wheels are set in motion, they are just not moving as fast as I would like them to be.

Is this going to be sent to Vapor or another reviewer to see how it performs? I know your original block did not do well at all. I am interested otherwise. Keep up the good work.

Still building the machine that will make these. Not easy to build a CNC machine, but not impossible either. Just so many other things to do as well.

I have a question for you. I've been kicking this around for some time. I am unimpressed with all these inefficient huge fin / air cooled CPU coolers...they could be much better than they are.. I came up with some ideas on modifying some or even making my own from scratch. I have been contemplating for a few years of taking one and filling the heat pipes with mercury since mercury is the absolute best at heat transferring or some other coolant medium for the obvious expense and poison reasons. Late offerings like the like the Noctua NHD14 and the Dark Rock Pro are my serious contenders. After stumbling across your posts, especially your Water/air CPU block it hit me like a ton of bricks ( a real face palm moment lol). The new idea is for a 3 section (dual chamber) CPU block from solid copper, CPU contact area mirror polished (of course). A solid copper base with coolant chamber (like traditional water blocks)for mercury and top (mid section) . But the top of the mid section would have to have a fill port (permanently sealed or resealable) for the mercury. I don't think much mercury would be required for this...though I could be wrong. I thought about using a welding technique to permanently join the 2 together but the gasses produced from welding in combination with mercury would be poisonous if not plain fatal. On the top of the mid section just make like your air / water-block. Hmmmm, Lol...the amount of thermometers i would have to buy to get enough mercury Your thoughts?....

The thing is, it would be great if you could replace your liquid with mercury (in a traditional liquid loop), but since that stuff is pure poison (which I don't think would stop me from trying) so it's not advisable.
By filling any plain block with liquid metal you really aren't helping the cause. Whats the difference between solid metal, and liquid metal? They both do the same thing in this case and transfer heat. The block would become essentially "solid metal" if you filled it with mercury.
If the mercury flowed to absorb the heat from the block, and dissipated it through a radiator, you would have the most efficient cooling system around. Oh yea, don't try that at home ;)

All air coolers in general are inefficient at cooling. You can tell this by feeling the air coming off the fan. Compared to the ambient air, its not much different.
I have read a paper that promises to completely redesign the entire air cooling industry though. I am watching it every closely. Just one thing I can't quite figure out...

Lol...simple solution would be to mill a bracket for attaching a 120mm performance fan that fastens to long mounting screws. This would give you quieter operation and loads of cool air blowing down on all parts surrounding CPU socket...e.g. vregs, mosfets, caps, bridge, controller chips, memory, factory Mob cooling fins, not to mention the CPU itself  This post was in response to earlier post ...something to do with loud 90 mm fan being too loud...shoulda used quotes. sry

Mercury has a faster heat absorption rate than any solid metal. Thus drawing heat from base at CPU contact point and transferring it to the upper water block plate where the water would further draw heat from mercury. its about fast heat absorption My concern would be that the water cooling couldnt keep up with the mercury and the mercury would just end up transferring the heat that it absorbed back to contact plate and eventually CPU negating the mercury in the end
