Think thats a lofty title? Then why doesnt someone else come and usurp him. I challenge others to make a roundup better than his. Now, I'll run away before I get shot by the newbie-haters.
The reason is simple. Testing waterblocks correctly is hard... DAMN hard, and takes a ton of time. I still have nightmares to the WBRU1 I did. I DO want to do another one. but I am waiting for the money and the time to get the proper gear. Thats the reason it took like 6 months to do the last roundup, I wont do a test unless I have the gear that will make me feel comfortable enough that I can get accurate and repeatable results.

I have a few other things that I want to do before I get sucked into another testing black hole, but the plan is to do a series of smaller but more frequent WBRU's in the future.

Also the scale, and the fact someone is doing a roundup doesnt mean jack. Wait for the results before you start to praise a review... Doing it the other way is like thanking the chef for the great food before you get served... and then to find out he just pooped on the plate.
