Somehow I must have miscommunicated my desires, I wasn't clear.
IF a "neat, small, quiet, compact" system could beat a "not-so-neat, not-so-small, not-so-quiet, not-so-compact" system or come within a less than 2C difference as installed on a high end higly overclocked system
THEN I would consider that a wet dream, and would buy accordingly.
Yes I want my cake and I'd really like to eat it too, however I am aware that this is at this time simply fantasy. It won't always be...

So it's also a traditional German (low-flow, neat, small, quiet, compact) vs USA (high-flow, not-so-neat, not-so-small, not-so-quiet, not-so-compact) comparison.
It all got murkified when someone decided to "prove it" to us by putting up effectively a USA-methodology kit, made from German (and some USA-originated) components, and then attempted to say that this typified the "new German" way of doing things, and thereby hijacking the original intent of the thread.
Problem is that said person wants to confuse matters further by effectively saying: "I represent German components which are small, compact, quiet, and low-flow, and just as good, if not better, than any USA system. Oh, and please overlook that I just assembled a kit to prove my point that doesn't have any of those characteristics".

That about sums it up.
