Cathar's testing showed that with more flow and higher temperatures, one's overclock may increase. He also beat a Vapochill with plain watercooling. Just take a go at it.

Maybe so - I did notice when I added the second mini pump in series that I could carry one more notch of VCore and generally things seemed more 'well mannered'. Not a scientific term, but I imagine you know what I mean.
I think you are speaking of the pinprick hot-spot stuff that I read about somewhere a while back. It made the point that while CPU temps may not increase, lower flow allowed 'mini-pockets' or 'pinpricks' of heat to develop in the die surface. These mini-pockets of heat buildup were not enough to raise the CPU temp noticeably, but they would cause CPU failure due to 'junction failure', or something like that. Makes some sense I guess. :-)
Got a direct link laying about for Cathar's stuff you mentioned? If not, maybe I can find it. Thanks.
