I just read the OC thread and think they are waaaaay to concerned with precision accuracy. I like accurate results but come on, we are talking about water blocks for computers not missle guidence systems!!!

The results you have will only be so usefull anyway. NO ONE will be able to replicate your results because every cooling system and the systems enviroment is different!!!! One system may work better with a Maze3 and not as good with a Spir@l and another may work better with a Spir@l and not a Maze3!!! In order to get real usefull results to base upon a purchase you need to test every single possible flow rate with every single possible setup in every single enviroment there is!!!! Needless to say I don't have the Billions of dollars to make such a facility!!!

I think we all just want to see if there are any MAJOR differences in the retail blocks out there (like 3-5C differences with a few different flow rates thrown in). That does not require precision testing equipment. Hell I would be happy if you just filled up a 1 gallon jug and timed it for the flowrate!!! Would be close enough for me as long as every block tested is tested identical it should be fine.

Glad I make my own blocks.
