Looks pretty sweet, Have you tested it yet? Does that fan help?

Interesting. Hard to say how well it will perform, since the actual water pathway is not in contact with the base in many places. Looking forward to seeing your results.

I have already tested it and the results are:

28º idle

38º Full load running Sandra

Ambient temperature about 27º

What do you think about it ?

Thats pretty good, what voltage you running and what was the watertemps?

Have you tryed it with and without the fan to compare? Even if it does nothing it looks cool.

If it was me I'd polish the wb and put a gold grill on that fan :D

The voltage is 1.7
I didn't tryed without the fan, but I think i does something at least it is connected to the cpu fan connection in the board.
The fan is a Y S Teck 40 mm ,4000 rpm

It's already polished but it's only a prototype, I'am working in a new one. I will post some pic's here

It looks like quite a neat idea, I'm curious to how it touches the base. Are the pipes soldered, or what?

Yes, it is soldered, look at the pic, it touches the base like this.

I am curious about the temps you quoted.
Are they water temps or CPU temps?
If you getting CPU temps only 1C lower than ambient.... your block is a good as diamond one or your temp measurements are kak :)

They are cpu temp's and this is one of my reservoirs and the CPU temp is 1C higher than ambient :)
