"A block alone does not make or break a system 'regardless of pump and rad and tube', never has never will, that is my opinion"

Strongly vague opinion if you ask me. Regardless of pump, rad, tube. So given any combo of these, the waterblock cannot break the system? Go get yourself the BlueCooling's BTMS block and live with it

Don't be pedantic!!(how do you spell forcetious???)
the emphasis was on the
make

I think what Cathar is trying to point out, is that he is using a restriction as a nozzle directly over strategic areas in his block. This lowers the overall flow of the loop but increases heat transfer because of the extreme velocity directed at various points of heat transfer, for a beneficial tradeoff. He is not using a restrictive barb nor do I.

I understand this, but 'restrictive barb' does'nt automaticaly equal 'restriction as a nozzle directly over strategic areas'.

I in fact do use a 5/8" OD barb as the inlet on my design.

Thank you!!...

I think a thin base, Inlet over core, 'Radial water path' is my ultimate block design... (with dual parralel 'OCPC' The Deep rads with 14mm barbs, and a 1060 pump[or better equivalent]. with 12mm inner diam' silicone, and 14mm equal Y's)
I think calculating bore size is important to gain the most out of the 'restriction' aspect of the block.(in relevance to tube size
)
Would it be possible to 'chart' progress at varios flow rate/to/speeds?, to find a velosity 'sweetspot'?. Use the 'universal' 12mm~inner tube size and chart the various 'optimum mm~squared channel size' to 'X' flow rate.
would this produce a clear graph?, enabling you to calculate at a glance?...
Or is that so much B#llsh#t?, it's early here!
