You haven't had to work with the design engineers I have to work with. You might change your "mind" on that.

AS for this test bench I would suggest this to start with:

-Intel Soldered on IHS CPU and compatible mobo with overclocking options.

-Use the onboard probe (bare with me)

-Use a swissflow flowmeter

-ignore all variables

-Forget dP for now

Take a series of tests with 3 known different performing blocks. Like a Maze 4, TDX and MP-05SP.

Compare these results with a more sophisticated test bench at same flow rates and see how the order of blocks are performance wise. If the order at each flow rate is consistent between both benches then you have a bench capable of usable results.

If the order is way off you can start changing things starting with a better temp monitoring system and start to figure out what exactly is needed to be done and work out how to do it.

It would be preferable that the tests were done by the same person at the same place I would imagine.

Anyway that is my simplistic way of looking at it. Start simple and move more complex until you get your desired result.
