More looking forward to performance myself. I already predict that at low flow rates that it'll put the regular Cascade to shame, since that was one of my goals when designing it. Let's say I've been influenced too much by people putting heavy weight in foreign tests run at <2LPM. The XXX should continue to offer the same rough rate of performance gain as flow rate is increased as the regular Cascade. Perhaps more, perhaps less. I don't know. Depends on which variable is the dominant factor in reality as opposed to theory. Maybe hoping for a 1C gain over the Cascade.
Really though, and what was the focus of the block's design, was to pay more careful attention to smoothing out hot-spots. This is something that I can't really measure except in terms of overclock stability. An improved overclock will be the true measure of success for the XXX for me, and not so much the actual temperatures seen.
So more focus on jet/cup geometry interaction, inter-cup geometry, and matching that off against the base-plate thickness. Am very excited.
