I suppose without any type of technical education the curves and performance figures would fall of deaf ears. Oh well..... Let me ask you a question though, would you buy a new PC or a car simply because the sales man says "Hey its fast, and it looks cool!!" Thats about all we have as a community to go off of when buying watercooling equipment. I'm afraid "it works good and looks cool" just doesn't cut the mustard these days when the differences between blocks performance is getting marginally smaller. There's a lot of us who want to know more than "it works good". I would even go as far as to say the people who are real geeks...er...watercooling users would actually USE this info in designing better performing systems (ie this block and this radiator at this mass flow rate A with a CPU of the power B will produce temps approximate to X for Y much $$).

If you know GeminiCool's products.. you know you could e-mail him and get more detailed specs from him.. he's a machine shop guy.. places like dangerden are just a bunch of (guys?) who do this for a living.. they don't do anything else but make water cooling stuff.. as far as I know.. They aren't a professional machine shop... They will sell their products to you through looks and promises of good temps with thick copper blocks.. etc etc etc..

Really? Does he have accurate Thermal Resistance vs. Flow Rate curves like Lytron does? Seriously if he does I may be very interested in buying one of his blocks.
