Thanks for the imput. You've all made good points. To answer the remaining questions:
1-Yes, there is good airflow. I see your point here, yet my maze2 was tested first on this exact system. The only thing that changed was the waterblock.
2-The maze2 was usually 1c @idle and 1-2c @load higher temp. It was an excellent performer though...No difference in the overclocking results between the 2 blocks. Without an external sensor though, I agree, no one need accept these results.
3- Hmmm...well, when I called to order/inquire on the block and ask a couple of questions the guy (the owner I think) was somewhat rude. Other than that I thought the service was good and prompt. Cheap shipping too.
The reasons I chose this block are as follows: Somewhat reasonable price, reasonable shipping costs, seems the center inlet would create some turbulence(due to the layout of the channeling),annodized fittings(large),
extensive channeling,
high water volume in the block to accept heat, good machining, nice looking, and (sorry to be controversial here) I like the idea of blending copper with a little aluminum for heat release. I understand some of the problem issues with this industry, but not giving credit where credit IS due is not benefiting anyone here. In fact that is the whole problem...the people/companies who
deserve recognition for real efforts don't properly recieve it. Maybe there's some truth in what I'm saying
. You guys obviously know alot, and I feel in good company; Even though I am a nOOb here
