Hmmm...
They're changed their site. They used to state measurement conditions on every page that had ratings for their radiators.
The one for the BlackIcePro (120mm but thinner than the BIX)
still does *100 CFM, .28inH2O fans, 6 l/min flow rate. The missing ones are (IMHO) a simple oversight - stuff gets lost nearly every time a web site gets re-designed.
I've been using the BIPs because they seem to do a decent job if you're watercooling for low-noise.
Without getting into the inaccuracies of stating CPU diode temps) I just swapped a BIP out for a chevette core + criticool shroud in my "main" PC.
Reported temps (adjusting for ambient, which have gone from 20C to 24C -not that my wall thermometer's particularly accurate either) are 1C cooler - which means they are essentially the same.
Bear in mind that I'm "off the bottom of the chart" in terms of airflow and air pressure (single panaflo on rad undervolted to 5V).
