You're under the assumption that the system is running water...

Chances are, it will be using more of an alchohol.
Secondly, the reason why huge amounts of flow aren't neccessary is because of the microchannels. The whole point of the block is to remove the densely packed heat on the core like modern heatsinks cant. As opposed to modern heatsinks, the heat travels only about a few millimeters to get dissipated. The physics of microchannel cooling are very different.

Secondly, the system has yet to be finalized, but you can't really draw a conclusion from the included information just yet. Think about it Cathar. You probably went through a few designs for your Cascade block before you made a final release version, they're probably doing the same. It's not going to make it to the enthusiast level until it's been tested on OEM high-performance machines first. I honestly think the next logical step would be to release a case with the cooligy system pre-installed, much like a Koolance watercooling case. This is uncertain though.
