Haddy, in the review we used an XP1600+ which is clocked at 1.4 GHz stock. The processor was overclocked to 1.6 GHz.
Ambient, the fan on the waterblock is not a Delta. It is actually a no name brand fan which is much quieter than your standard Delta fan, yet it provides good airflow.
WebMasta33, I'm sorry you only trust those websites... Sure ProCooling and the rest mentioned are great resources, but you are really missing out on a lot if you only trust those three. You want biased reviews? That doesn't make any sense to me... why do you want someone to lie or sell a product that doesn't actually work? That is misleading and just plain wrong. I'm also sorry that you don't like the way we do our write-ups as well as our specific method.
Brad, it isn't wrong to worry about a pump failure... they happen more than you think. What is so wrong with liking the Z4 kit? The kit they provided us with was put together very well and the block put up some very respectable numbers. OCH/CPUfx makes high quality products aimed at the high-end crowd. I am not going to lie on a review just because you happen to not like OCH/CPUfx. I'm sorry if you have something against OCH, but the fact of the matter is, the kit performed great. Apparently we are not the only site to think so:

"These people aren't real water coolers, just air coolers slightly interested in it?" Actually Brad, I have six years of experience in the watercooling industry. At the computer shop I work at, that is one of my main functions... watercooling desktops and servers. In fact, my business card says "Watercooling Specialist" on it. Needless to say, I've seen and tested a multitude of waterblocks out on the market, we just haven't done reviews on them. As for our other members, phlyingpenguin has two years experience under his belt and Iceman having two years as well.
Some people have requested us to test the waterblock without the pump functioning to act as if the pump was broken. The test is running just as I am typing this message and should be posted in the review in the next day or two.
I don't want anyone to take any of this personally, as I am just trying to defend myself, and my site. Thank you for your time everyone!
