If you belong to the "good enough" crowd, then why are you here side-lining the efforts of people who want to talk about pushing waterblock technology further?

My offering was the idea of using 5/8 barbs instead of restrictive 1/2inch ones.
you are the one who 'sidelined' me by saying restrictive inlets are good.

As hard as it may be to believe, it's possible to get better performance by causing the flow rates to be lowered through adding restrictions in important places in the block (didn't I say this above already).
|
Have I ever denied this?, I just said that seeing as I have a 1250(not high pressure) pump, I did'nt
think it'd apply to my situation, letting more flow through would help me more IMO.
I never laid it down as gospel

And why have a restrictive outlet? what can that serve?.
"who has one?"

Who does'nt?,a 1/2inch barb(10mm inner) is restrictive compared to the inner12mm of the tube, that was my slant 5/8 is better. you said 1/2inch is good as an inlet because of the restriction producing higher flow speed. is that 12mm outlet good too?.

Water-block design IS the way forwards. Pump and radiator technology while still possible to improve in small ways, are well known technologies that are pretty much at their limit.

Like I said I think tuning Block to rad to pump, basicly tuning the
system is the way forward, it's my opinion Cathar. you're saying you can design a block that will cool better regardless of what pump and rad you use with it?...
Please don't get snidey Cathar, please take note of the smileys I put in my posts, mainly the lack of
's . and notice the fact that I said regardless of everything I said it would'nt stop me doing exactly the same as you if I had the tools and space and money.
**************************************
I still think that block design is'nt the way forward. I think tuning the system to what you have is the all important thing.

What I meant was I don't think there's a revolutinary
independant design thats going to blow everything else away, I think it's more of design/tuning the block to GIVEN pump and rad carichteristics. not just 'generic' waterblocks. creating the block to be part of a GIVEN whole is where I think it's at :shrug: . can you not see where I'm coming from?. I think you've misunderstood what I meant, maybe I did'nt articulate myself well enough?. whatever, please don't get
.
