So I've noticed that many DIY waterblocks are made with small, low-profile heatsinks which have been modded a bit and sealed off. This got me thinking. How well would a high-performance heatsink, like an Alpha PAL8942 work as a waterblock? I could place a long strip of sheet metal between the fins vertically to guide the water in a spiral as in other designs. I could then seal off the whole heatsink so water could pass through it. What do you folks think?
