I'm going kinda backwards here, but I took apart one of my Dice pots and salvaged a nice 4" piece of brass 2" handrail. I think it would make a nice chipset pot.
My question is = If I where to make a mini dice pot, would a flat copper base with no channels or holes for dissipation be ok? I think anything super thick may be more than needed for generally low tdp chipsets. what do you think?

Overkill. Dice not necessary on chipset. Water is more than enough.

I wouldnt have too thin a base temp swings are too great especially with nitrogen 1" thick would be ok no less.

Gotcha 1" thick. The base for the one taken apart is at least 1" thick and in the center of an aluminum race driver I have a copper slug pressed in the hole I drilled out approximately 3/4" in diameter. It seemed to do better with LN2. I sent that Dice pot to Jason. He never did send it back like he said he was gonna. Any how, the top half was sectioned with that 4" tall brass piece. I'm just trying to think of something to do with it while it's too short to make a proper Cpu pot.

I know this is a old post but one thing I always did with die pots that I only seen one other person do was to place a X pattered piece of copper in the pot. I found that the added mass really got the pot cold, but also made for a lot of condensation and ate thought dice at a faster rate. Overkill. Dice not necessary on chipset. Water is more than enough. a water block next to a pot seems like a bad idea... wouldn't just a big o'l passive heat sink and fan do fine? Bleh what would l know, I never Diced anything newer then a P4 so chip set heat was never much of a problem.

In my experience, sometimes you DO need a block on a chipset. What the chipset is and how you're running the system determines all that but I've had a couple that really needed it.
