er, that doesn't seem right....

so, for clarification, JoeC has each of the waterblocks tested at 1GPM?

edit: surely the TDX has a thinner BP than the MCW-600x?
What you described was his very early procedure. After much protest when he changed pumps, he switched to testing at various data points, which is apparantly 0.5gpm, 1.0gpm, and 1.5gpm (or 0.3gpm if 1.5gpm is not achievable).
