1. A cold plate assembly comprising: a monolithic cold plate which defines a trough located to intersect a fluid path, wherein the trough is spaced from a manifold and forms an opening through a face of the monolithic cold plate and the opening extends the substantial length of the trough through the face. 2. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said fluid path includes a multiple of parallel passages, each of said parallel passages defined by a first gun drilled passage which intersects said trough and a second gun drilled passage which opposes said first passage which intersects said trough. 3. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 2, wherein said trough is of a generally toothed configuration with a multiple of open areas, each of said multiple of open areas corresponds with one of said multiple of parallel passages. 4. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 3, further comprising a cap which is receivable within said trough, said cap defines a multiple of cap teeth, each of which fit within one of said respective multiple of open areas. 5. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 4, wherein each of said multiple of cap teeth define an orifice which provide fluid communication between said first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage. 6. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 5, wherein each of said orifices is smaller than said respective first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage. 7. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 2, wherein said trough is of a generally toothed configuration with a multiple of trough teeth which separate said multiple of parallel passages. 8. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 7, wherein said multiple of trough teeth intersect a second fluid path parallel to said fluid path. 9. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 8, wherein said second fluid path includes a second multiple of parallel passages, each of said second multiple of parallel passages defined by a first gun drilled passage and a second gun drilled passage which intersect said trough, one of said opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage penetrate through a respective one of said multiple of trough teeth. 10. A cold plate assembly comprising: a monolithic cold plate which defines a trough located to intersect a fluid path with a multiple of parallel passages, each of said multiple of parallel passages defined by an opposed first gun drilled passage and a second gun drilled passage which intersect said trough, said trough defines a generally toothed configuration with a multiple of open areas, each of said multiple of open areas corresponds with one of said multiple of parallel passages to separate said respective opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage; anda cap which is receivable within said trough, said cap defines a multiple of cap teeth which fit within said respective multiple of open areas, each of said multiple of cap teeth defines an orifice which provides fluid communication between said respective opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage. 11. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 10, wherein each of said orifices is smaller than said respective opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage. 12. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 10, wherein each of said multiple of open areas are separated by a trough tooth that intersects a second fluid path. 13. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 12, wherein said second fluid path includes a second multiple of parallel passages, each of said second multiple of parallel passages defined by an opposed first gun drilled passage and a second gun drilled passage which intersect said trough, one of said opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage penetrates through a respective one of said multiple of trough teeth. 14. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 13, further comprising a second cap parallel to and offset from said cap, said second cap receivable within a second trough parallel to and offset from said trough, said second cap defines a second multiple of cap teeth, each of said second multiple of cap teeth adjacent to each of said multiple of trough teeth, each of said second multiple of cap teeth define an orifice which provides fluid communication between each of said opposed first gun drilled passage and said second gun drilled passage of said second fluid path. 15. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the fluid path separates the manifold from the trough. 16. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the trough is located in a midsection of the monolithic cold plate. 17. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the monolithic cold plate includes a first fluid path and a second fluid path, the first fluid path located on a first side of the trough and the second fluid path located on a second side of the trough, the second side being opposite the first side. 18. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the trough is of a toothed configuration and the teeth extend from a first side of the trough to a second side of the trough. 19. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the manifold is an intake manifold. 20. The cold plate assembly as recited in claim 1, further comprising a cap configured to be received within said trough. 21. The cold plate assembly of claim 2, wherein the first gun drilled passage is only partially aligned with the second gun drilled passage. 22. A cold plate assembly comprising: a monolithic cold plate which defines a trough located to intersect a fluid path, wherein the trough is spaced from a manifold and forms an opening through a face of the monolithic cold plate wherein a plurality of teeth extend into the trough. 23. The cold plate assembly of claim 1, wherein a plurality of teeth extend into the trough.
