I DO have specific experience, and you ?
perhaps I am the one with an Overview, and you are repeating something from another ?
as we say over here, put up or shut up; where is your evidence ?

Hey man, I sell these Connectors and have over 1000 of them here in my Storage hall. I have a 3cm thick Landefeld Pneumatics Fible here next to me with lots of different pushin connectors explained inside.
Yes, repeating from another. have you invented this conncetors? no? - So don't say you aren't repeating something from another.
But Remember: I have no Commercial interests here at procoolings, because i only sell in germany, so why should I care?
@BillA: Reading is a very complicated activity isn't it? I didn't declined anywhere that i am no commercial player, but i declined, that i have commercial interests anywhere in Australia or the USA or anywhere else. I believe that i am the onliest active german poster here, so don't think i do this for advertisement or other purposes. i have simply another opinion.

you are confused about flow rates
when a component is bench tested the flow rate is one of the variables
when a kit is tested it has a single flow rate, generally not known (though I measure such along with the coolant temp)
IF you presume that a wb can ONLY be used with the components of a specific kit, then the indifference to its performance under other conditions may be understood (but the flow rate sensitivity is still existant)

No i am not confused, i din't say anything about that.
The flow rate is a variable, thats right, but you use it like an constant. And thats not right, because the flowrate differs from block to block and thats because you should have read pHaestus Article about the Maze4. Some Blocks are simply so restrictive, that they need much more pressure to reach the same flowrate than other blocks, and thats the point where comparisn gets unfair.
I like much more the way kaltmacher.de is measuring flowrates (although they use indeed mickey mouse tubing, thats a negative point i agree): http://www.kaltmacher.de/artikel.php?t=34482
Please take a look also at the WPS, a computerconnected Testingdevice specially constructed für Watercooling. The design and The Software has been developed in the kaltmacher Forum as an OpenSourceproject.
This is what i call professional testequipment.

are you famaliar with C/W vs. Pressure Drop curves ?

No never seen anywhere LOL


@Cathar: of course, I am a commercial player and i will ship my blocks aorund the half globus to concurrate to your blocks in australia. dream on!
I have my design for my cooler UCD2 and UCD-V and it will not be based on old technics like the cascade or storm or other jet impigment.
Just to give you a hint of what i am doing atm:
I am trying to bring the Turbulence nearer to the cpudie. I don't not increase the friction or restriction where it isn't definitely needed, as it is inside the jets. My restriction is at another point, but not inside the jets. The "jets" should only direct the water and distribute it to the baseplate. Only now i will try to activate turbulences inside the water.
This is a completely different approach, with less data of its effectiveness, less approved than yours but maybe if i am lucky and made no mistake in my calculations there will be a big potential.
