as for the blocks, if i stumble on some really really good design ill gladly post scans of it, pictures, etc so people can copy it. I just want it to be called the Kronchev Block, much like its called #Rotor Pins  |
Manufactures BUY a license from the patent owner to use the technology. That is why we see various versions of everything and no one is getting sued to often. Intel and AMD both buy rightes to use each others tech in the CPU's. GM buys tech from Toyota to use in their's ect... If water cooling became mainstream then we would have to buy tech licenses aswell to copy the design. If the white water was patented Cathar could easily sue and win many cases. Problem is Cathar would actually LOOSE money as there is no way he made enough money from that block to even cover the patent fee's let alone the court costs.
Water Cooling is a very small market, a lot smaller than some want to belive.
