BillA, as my results are limited to my own system, I certainly agree that different systems may yield different results when it comes to flow rate. Obviously your testing is far more advanced than mine, and covers a wider array of blocks, radiators, etc.

My system is a chevette heater core 6" x 6" x 2", two 120 mm fans, one push, one pull, inline chillerblock, 500 GPH pump. There are two loops in the system, the above describes the hot side. The cold side is CPU wb, NB wb, inline chillerblock and reservoir, 500 GPH pump.

The main point I am trying to make is that once you get beyond a minimum flow rate, any further increase results in minimal gains. I believe even your own graphs show this to some extent.

NOTE: The testing that I did was with the chillerblocks removed and the radiator and reservoir used in a normal configuration. It consisted of the pump, CPU wb, NB wb, radiator and reservoir.
