How well do you think it will perform?

I think it will do very well. It will go to pH when he gets done with my other blocks but i will test it myself untill then.

A plastic 90 has iirc about 1/3 more restiction than a copper 90 because of the reduction in size and also the bend on the copper is smooth while the plastic is a sharp 90. It should be possible if you can give it enough space, to make it have very little restriction.

I need to see your design before commenting further. What I had in mind in a few designs was to bring the water up the outlet, 90 over in the direction of the other outlet and then 90 again up and out. Or taking the 2 outlets 90 them over towards each other and then 90 them out the block after they merge. I sill havn't come up with anything I can use yet. Still working on it.

oh wow, I couldnt see it from the scanned picture, it almost hirt my eyes, but now that I see those pictures its looking real good! I have thought of similar stuff but I still dont like the idea of using a 3 barbed block. Im trying to stay away from that as much as possible.
that looks like itll be your best performing block so far

Thanks.
I agree about the 3 barbs. In fact I plan on caping one of the outlets to see what will happen on this. If you noticed I left a 1/8" channel around the middle section (idea from my Lemon Block) to aid flow rate. It might be enough to route all the water to one outlet.
I agree, I think it will be my best CPU only block. I made it to be in the top of the DIY blocks here at ProCooling and to throw a challenge out to people to top it. DIY competition is one way to promote new ideas as business competiton obviously is failing miserable lately to bring out new stuff.
I was happy with my little CNC mill. It handled those 1/16" cuts with out a problem. It was slow though. Kept wishing I had that Haas $30G mini mill with tool changer!
Fun non the less.
