Also worth pointing out that waterblock technology has reached it's climax. I do not believe, with the current materials, that anything truly better will come out.
Radiators are getting bigger and bigger and pumps keep pumping quicker and quicker... but the blocks are still using Copper. (Silver in some designs but the difference between Silver and Copper is negligible).
I don't think better designs will come out anytime soon.

Agreed.
The learning curve for good performing DIY block has got to the point people don't want to bother.
One reason I started this thread was to make a decision on were to go with my water cooling hobby. I am pondering dropping the DIY aspect of things being there just doesn't seem to enough interest in it to warrant spending all my free time on it for others.
I had planned to do a series of tests with my test bench on various aspects of block design but I got to thinking the average DIY'er just doesn't have the equipment to do most of the stuff I was planning on doing. All the designs I have in mind and have made pretty much reply on my CNC mill. Not to many DIY'ers have a mill and the one's that do usually have their own designs to do.
I don't like doing things just to get a pat on the back and then no one actually use my shared experience to do something on their own.
I am at a cross roads right now on what to do....
