I am sorry, but in this point i will not agree with you.
If they try to get a very good surface, and get it scratched because of the packaging, they shouldn't even waste the time to make it that good.
Its only a matter of packaging. Really.
Thermal paste should be minimised at all costs, since it has bad heat transfer properties.

Ok, so we assume that the user should go for the 250$+ Reserator instead of the SP-94?

Instable? So, why buy it?

Testing a cooler, i would base myself harder on the temperatures.
Get an external pump, check its performance at diferent flow rates, etc etc.
Of course you could always say that this system isnt based on temperatures, it only needs to be stable un-overclocked, but in that case, a silent fan on the SP-94 would do it!

True!, Thats the top thing we are discusting! If it is on par with the SP-94, why buy it and not buy the SP-94?
To sum it up:
Are you mad with what we say about your way to make reviews? Or with what we say about the reserator?
I assume its because of what we say about your review. Well... check PH's reviews. Thats what we want about Coolers: Hard-True data.
Be cool.
