well, they kinda did, considering the inlet tapers to induce a higher water velocity at the center. I would be willing to bet that it's the same ID inlet as the 6000 (3/8" version). the outlet is a larger diameter, so i suppose less head loss? more realistically though, it's just more convenient for the majority of enthusiast watercoolers out there, who use 1/2" ID tubing.

edit:

about reviews, I kinda wish swiftech was like dangerden, who seem to be handing out TDX's to any reviewer who wants one. TDX has berely been out a week and most who are interested already have a general idea of not only its performance, but also other stuff that are of interest to the consumer, like mounting and other issues. the MCW-6000 has been out for a some time longer--and nothing. I already made a post in the thread concerning pimprig's TDX review about how some watercooling companies may prefer quantity over quality in reviews of their products, and swiftech may be more noble than to just hand out samples to any old site, but I would be willing to bet that the TDX has already made more sales than the MCW-6000 has (simply because noone knows anthing about it).

but I'm just assuming, i have no clue

just wishing to see reviews of it (or even a user's personal review on a forum), that's all
