It seems as though in the last year or so the quality of the information about water cooling has decreased. Or at least the understanding of water cooling has been reduced.

I don't know. How much extra hose can you possibly have in the system though. Not much fits inside a PC case. Unless the pump is small and over worked I can't see a 5C gain as plausible. It is stuff like that though that really kills the article. A lot of unsubstantiated claims. If I got a 5C drop by removing some hose I would be making sure it was in fact the hose that made the difference before posting it in a article about mastering water cooling.
This guy has obviously not mastered water cooling himself so I am not sure how he thinks he can write an article on such.
I think it is inevitable that quality info about a something that started as a hobby will get eroded pretty quickly when things become more commercial and the hobbyist is out of the picture. Less is learned when things become plug 'n' play and the DIY'ers start to wonder off.
