A modder has turned an Intel CPU heatspreader into a functional water block with the help of a CNC machine. And a bucket

If the concept of CPU delidding fills you with dread, I think you might also be a little squeamish about this one. A modder has created a functional liquid cooling system by machining straight into an Intel CPU heat spreader—and, with the help of a plastic panel and a handy bucket, it actually works. To a fashion, at least.

On the surface, the idea actually makes a whole lot of sense (via Wccftech). After all, a water block is a piece of material attached to the top of a chip with channels cut within it to allow liquid to flow through...
