I believe it is, yes. On the other hand, if you were able to minimize the spacing between the pins, you might have something.

The Cascade/G5 has a (relatively) simple inlet, and you'd be hard pressed to re-create that kind of flow on a pin-style block; the flow spreads radially as it hits the baseplate, hence the "cups", then the "fins". Since it spreads radially, its only natural for the space between the fins to be in the shape of a circle; that's the conclusion that I came to, when I dreamed up the idea.

So JD, I'll give you your point, you might be right, but you'll have to give me that it'd be complicated to optimize the flow the same way.

Deal?
