I, for one, do not consider it to be an "unwritten rule" that manufacturers/designers post publically in forums - in fact I think it is the best thing that can happen to a forum, as it often adds real knowledge to spectulation. I know of people from Intel, AMD, Microsoft, various motherboard manufacturers, etc, all who post publically on message boards, just because you work for a manufacturer doesn't mean you are restricted from communicating on the internet. The important thing is that these people make a distinction between when they are speaking as an individual and when they are speaking for their company, and I think BillA has made it clear on a number of occasions that unless otherwise noted, his comments here are his as an individual, not those of Swiftech.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of the science behind watercooling (more than, "ooh, the water goes around in circles and makes everything cool") understands that different block designs are most effective at different flow rates. Since every user isn't using the same system, knowing how a waterblock performs at X GPH isnt very useful if you want to use it at Y GPH. A test covering varying flow rates not only shows the performance of a waterblock more accurately, but it also is much more useful to the end user.


PS. If you are going to throw in big words to sound erudite, for god's sake, use that Thesaurus to get the spelling right. The word is euphemism.
