Hi Fly,
Welcome to pro forums!
I'll certainly admit that the criticism of your review was "over the top" as far as bad language.
However, when I was first reading this thread and followed the URL to your review, I got as far as
The included pump is a 5 Watt Qmax300, providing a throughput of 300l/h."
and stopped there, having made the assumption that the author (guess that was you) was not watercooling-literate.
Of course, this was based on yet another assumption - that you had not actually measured water flow, but were quoting the pump manafacturer's zero-head claim - I jumped to this conclusion simply from 300l/h being a "round number" - apologies if I'm wrong on this one...
Folks on this forum come from a lot of different walks of life. Some of us work in a collegial environment (not necessarily academic, but that same give and take around technical reports). If you'd made the above comment on the forum one of those folks would have asked "did you measure that flow?". Others of us are from construction/contracting and have a tendency to shout "bullshit!" if they think a subcontractor's trying to pull the wool over their eyes - and use that same style here. (Yes, it makes me uncomfortable, too - but it's a very effective style in that it makes posters careful about their data - and their conclusions.)
I hope you won't take being the target personally (yes, I get to be the target once in a while, too)
On the positive side, there's an amazingly knowledgeable crew here. Phaestus is quite possibly the best water cooling tester currently publishing on the web. There are lots of reasons to stick around - hope you do.
