Danger den was far from the first to use the forced path design in their waterblocks. CPU Fx Z3 used it before them. So in a way everyone was copying them. the DD and the BeCool Aquastealth block aren't much different, except BeCool used a more rough cut in the channel to get more surface area.

the Aquacoil and DD Cube are VERY VERY different. About as different as the Big Momma and Black Ice are. You will have to wait for the Radaitor roundup to be posted to get exact numbers, but the Aquacoil in my tests performed much better in many ways to the DD Cube.

I was amazed at how big the difference was between them.

I respect the guys at all the places meantioned, DDen are TOP QUALITY, BeCool are also, OCWC is innovative and always coming up with new stuff. All of the companies have designs that can loosely in some way be compared to another companies design. That doesnt mean they are coppied, just means someone saw it, and thought it was a good design and HOPEFULLY improved it in some way.
