If you're judging simply by flow rate, then, yes, it flows very well. Given a powerful pump you might get it to outcool a whitewater (the c/w/flow numbers are lower, but, as you said, you can flow more).
However, setting up a system is like engineering in that there are a number of trade-offs and compromises between various factors. If you add low-noise as a factor (so a quiet, modest flow pump) then this block becomes IMHO an inappropriate choice.
The review you're referencing (pimprig) doesn't seem to mention pump head, velocity, coolant temp. Maybe that's in the graphs I can't reference because I'm behind privoxy (anti-web-nasty filter)?
I'm surprised they can get a 2500+ to go 2.9MHz. I'd suggest you not plan on getting the same results. I'm also wondering how usable/stable that 2.9MHz system is.
The block certainly
is pretty, though, isn't it? Assuming you have a case-window or something so folks can gaze at it...
My guess is that there is going to be a bunch of "conversation" around this block - why not "start a topic" rather than change this thread? More folks'll see it that way...
