do you have any data to back this up that i could see?
this was a round-up of all the blocks
if you wanted to know if improving flow rates will improve temps then a round-up is not something you want to read. you would want to read a tweaking guide based on watercooling or something along those lines
and i use a danner magdrive 250 in my watercooling set-up

The CPU diode accuracy depends on two things: the diode itself, and the chip that reads it. It will have an error margin of one deg C, at the very least.
Flow restriction is an important factor, and should have been included in the roundup. BillA would be ashamed to see this (I suspect he's reading from a distance, laughing at us all). As he pointed out so often, some blocks are extremely restrictive at higher flow rates, which makes them a bad choice. Also, some block designs do not offer much more performance with a higher flow rate, some do. Where's that data?
A lot of people pick a block based on the barb sizes (not terribly accurate, but a requirement). Where's that data?
Air flow rate through the rad is also critical, especially at higher flow rates. Where's that data?
There are many, many other blocks out there. Excluding the Innovatech was a no-no, as it is a top performing block.
Like I said before, kudos to Steve for rounding up 19 blocks... but all we got is that the BTMS is bad, and a long list for us all to go surf the net with.
