Quite separate issues I think Bill getting intertwined:

1) This challenge (carefully worded by me, eh?) is for the wizdforums folks to back up their assertions made in that (now deleted/cleaned up) thread. It has mostly done it's job; looks like everyone is backing away from that "cools just as good" nonsense and migrating towards "I don't care how it cools because it's quiet" statements. Which is fine.

2) Procooling is going to begin testing kits; I don't really care for mix and match kits from vendors and would prefer to test only kits offered as such by mfgrs.

Pug and Wizd Designs have offered to send parts from AlphaCool for testing/review. I suggested that the parts should be chosen so that they resulted in one complete AlphaCool kit I think this is what he was going to send

To get at the "low flow vs high flow" thing and to further this discussion, Pug also offered to send the following stuff to swap into the above kit:

"Exchange barbs for 10mm plugin, 7mm ID tubing, AP900 instead of 1500 and HTF (continuous tube) rad instead of BIX"

For the most part we could crunch the numbers on this stuff w/o doing a lot of testing given your Thermochill 120.2 results and a (provided by me) dP vs flow curve for the AlphaCool block(s).

If we drop the kit testing then I can just return to the wb tests and leave all the noise testing for others to deal with too. I assumed that there was a fair bit of interest in a BIG scale "state of the industry" cooling kit comparison though??
