And what on earth makes you think your block is anything even remotely close to the G5? The performnce of your block is consistant with $39.00 blocks not anything close to the G5. That is according to your Antartica comment.
Ben, There is more water to copper surface area with pins. There is more copper mass with channels. When you mill a groove to make a pin in a channel block there is additional surface area on the base. More copper Mass is not what you want. You want as much water to copper surface area possible. This is the very same concept the G5 and Cascade follow hence the cups in the base. By drilling down he removed copper mass and replaced it with copper to water surface area. Copper to water surface area combined with impingement is why the G5 works. Also the same reason the Nexxos XP works so well.
