It's not an option, but again, thanks for the input
Looks and sounds like it's directing flow better with them connected then. That and alot of the heat is directly over the center. With the X cut through it would just direct the flow straight into the center fin in each quarter hindering flow. Bad idea. LOL Well it sounded good at the time!

Thats the problem i'v been having with mine. The best I can get out of it is 10C delta. If I connect my sink faucet to it it does 6Cdelta easy with no difference between load or idle. Does that count? LOL
