Nothing wrong indeed.

I am sure this mistake will not happen again. As for why we have not made sure our synopsis is accurate? I am not sure, again, I have no clue about watercooling, but I do beleive that would be a question/advice for the author of the article. I do not beleive he is following this however. The opinion of the author is his opinion, whether it is true or not, but I do beleive there is truth in this "watercooling basics" guide however you guys may think.

1.) Just using that as an example, (I have done my homework on this
) the Maze 4 is relatively free flowing and it really does not require a 300+GPH pump. Perhaps the RBX does not "Require" a 300+ GPH pump, but it is very heavily recomended that you have a strong pump for a fairly restrictive block. How many people buy RBX's and put a 66GPH pump with 1 inch head on it? I am exagerating, but you get the point.
2.) High praise towards your swifty block eh?

I think that was clearly his opinion, and he said it seems, not it DID. Seems could be in maybe 1 test it performed better, perhaps in 10 tests it performed better? Maybe it performed better with a stronger pump? A weaker pump? In a waterchiller setup? With a pelt? With a pentium2 throwing off 20 thermal watts? With an overclocked presscott throwing off 175 thermal watts?
There are too many variables. Maybe with high heat CPUs (this is an example) the 5000 performs better, or low low low heat CPUs the 5000 performs better.
He never stated it DID perform better.
Now do you guys see what I am getting at? I just used those 2 quotes as examples......maybe there is truth in this guide...
Thanks for listening.
