To make it more clear my flow test will be able to show the actuall flow a specific pump has when used witha specific waterblock. The measurement should be precise.

It will not however make it so that each block will be tested at exactly the same flow rates. This obviously would have to be controled with a flow meter, control valve, and optionaly with a valve to relieve back presure.

What will be shown is that if one block flows better then it will give better temps with the same pump than another block that does not flow as well if all other characteristics of the block are the same.

So in a normal computer a normal user would see the same simply because the increased flow whould allow the block to perform better not because the block cools better. Am I making sense. I'm not sure if my terms are right but my idea is.

At ~0.7gpm there is no temp difference between the tested blocks. They cool similarly based on your data. I don't know the math right now so I'm unsure of the minimun resulution to show this data but from temp data aluded to in the other thread it would be .01. I'm unsure though without seeing the actual temp data. You did mention that the variance was only .7c in your tim comparison. With the margin for error with current over the cunter measuring devices as .5c the differences would be indistinguishable with normal measuring devices.

I'm sure my spelling is of somewere up there and I have fat fingers so excuse the spelling.
