Also their Trans T Turbulator is all copper. If you look at their fin cool design and their swirl flow turbolaters it looks damn genius to me (only prob is the swirl flow is alum) and you waterblock gurus can make some copper swirl flow turbulators. It seems like a huge waterblock which I bet would be great at pulling heat from the water. Only problem is I don't know what it would do to flow and because this water cooling is like super lotto it is anyone guess what would happen to temps but it all looks cool to me. Makes me think about making a rad, forget the wb's. Imagine what could be done?
Just do it. A heater core setup right can get your water temps to 1-2C over ambient for $20. Is it worth the effort? How much is to gain? :shrug:
