Out of curiosity, would a watercooling block attach to that?

Yes, you just need to have the right water block.

Polished heatsink just like the photo so decided to share took a long time sanding and I would of did nore but someone said i was crazy for going to this extreme.

Looks good, but as you say a bit extreme, like lapping the CPU. I think a good cooler and properly applied thermal compound will usually suffice for most. It's that itch to do more that got you :)

Lapping the CPU and cooling block is extreme? And here was me about to use a CNC mill to get their surfaces flat within micrometers...

Case temp is 23.2c and AI Suite reads cpu at 27.3c with me surfing and running tv show with media center and before the lapping of the cpu and the heatsink system ran about 5-7 degrees warmer with about the same case temp and software running, plus the case fans are down on low ( very quite cannot hear it from 2- 3 foot away) and the cpu and the back case fans are on the AI suite. Cpu was off being flat and true pretty bad.

Maybe it's time for me to upgrade my file server, my 2 x 200GB hard drives seem ridiculous compared to these other setups. Of course, I'm only at 75% capacity.
