I thought this forum was about improving waterblocks. This forum is like a reference book, any one that reads it can learn from it. People that post good designs here should expect others to use them as a reference for making there own blocks. Manufacturers would see it the same way and use it to learn, but not to copy.

you forgot the part about walking on water, fishes and loafs, etc.
you are wrong
do not confuse "discovery" with applications engn
Cathar is innovative, has conviction, and perseverance
ah yes Dave; a spot of ability too, as well as a relevant education
as first a significant contributor to the forums, and now as a mfgr, I've observed how (several) forums, and the marketplace itself, affect product offerings
and a number of mfgrs have indeed done ugly things
- does anyone recall the dimples Swiftech put on the inside of the MCW462 ?
and how many weeks it took Silverprop to make a direct copy ?
(and why Swiftech now applies for a design patent for everything)
others can describe Silverprop's 'innovation history' in far greater detail
so do WCers care about innovation and business ethics in the WCing marketplace ?
- nope, best performance (based on someone else's description) and lowest price
how can most WCers possibly even attempt to evaluate companies if they have not been involved for 2 or 3 years to understand what has transpired,
-> and how the past generally predicts the future
(this has NOTHING to do with vendor verdicts, the benchmark of most)
it is a genuine dilemma for small players like Swiftech, how to fund R&D with unrelenting price pressure ?
and which mfgr is it who provides ongoing technical (non-financial) support to the 2 serious independent testers ?
BTW, a Thank You to those who, even a the cost of a degree, continue to 'buy Swiftech'; expect good things, they're in the pipeline
EDIT: sorry #rotor, its all from Cathar
lol (chill fanboys, Stew and I are good friends)
