I see that now. I'm still fairly new to water cooling and thought that the European designers had created some kind of water cooling system/block that actually did perform better at lower flow rates than it did at higher flow rates. It didn't seem realistic that you could have a system with lower flow rates that is quieter and cool better at the same time.... but anything's possible, I suppose. And from what I've read from various sources on the web, that was my understanding of the European water cooling philosophy.

Basically it's just flow rate * pressure drop * a conversion to get to a final unit of "W". The beauty is that it combines the ease of comprehension of dT vs flow graphs with the necessity to include dP vs flow info to be predictive.

And we never said it was a low flow block or that low flow was ever desireable. I suggest that you complain to the "experts" who did.

Thank you for the link pH. I didn't mean to imply that you or anyone here said that it was a low flow block, but that was the impression I got from reading various websites. I will read the hydraulic power thread a couple times before I hit you up with my dumb Qs. =)
