Now I'm not an engineer or scientist so no flaming please However I've read that having turbulence at the point where the water is near the chip in a waterblock results in better performance, due to convection?
Assuming that's true, and I have a waterblock like a DD Maze 2 which jets water over the chip area first; my block is sealed so I can't open it at all, but what if I were to use a fine mesh, or a crisscross arrangement of copper wires inserted into the inlet barb? Or maybe just insert some rough shaped/spiral wires into the block via the barb?
Obviously they would need to be held in place somehow, but I'm guessing that this wouldn't impede flow much but could create extra turbulence for blocks which don't have built in turbulence mechanisms like pins/fins?
Thoughts? Bearing in mind my first sentence?
