Making use of the flow rates of the SS Cascade, G4 & G5 from the interactive graph.

G5 gives .2gpm more flow & best temps of any tested block.
G4 gives .45gpm more flow + temp gain over the Nexxos.
SS Cascade .82gpm more flow & neutral temp differance.

Temps of the Nexxos XP are very good. I just prefer the flow rates of the Little River blocks, so you've more potential for max performance of a whole system, where the GPU is also water cooled.

The Nexxos looks to be less than 1 full C behind the Storm G5 in temps, which is impressive. The Nexxos is so close that the Little River blocks will show little or no advantage in O/C of a system's CPU.

But if a GPU is added, the higher preserved flows of the 3 Little River blocks will allow better temps & higher O/C's on the GPU block. So in a real rig, with both CPU & GPU blocks, the Little river blocks use would result in a higher performing system.

Edit:

Removed section that had nothing to do with the performance of the blocks.
