I have no interest in angering Dangerden; Jeremy seems like a nice guy and has been very helpful to this site for a long time.

I was actually surprised that the Maze4 does so well; roughly 2.5-3C worse than an RBX at the same flow rate (and less restrictive so it should have a higher overall flow rate). Not bad really. I don't completely follow their design strategy with the Maze4 or the RBX though; it seems like they are tuning the blocks for larger pumps than most people use at the expense of performance at lower flow rates (which most people have). Swiftech's approach seems entirely sensible given they use 3/8" hose and push multiple blocks/multiple smaller radiators for complete systems. This means though that people who are only cooling CPUs with decent pumps and lower resistance loops could do better (Whitewater or RBX)
