I will be testing these blocks against regular style blocks. My theory so far is that the more water you can push through that block the more cool will be transfered onto the block.
Some say it is better to have a slower flow so the water has more time to pick up the heat. But I think that is backwards thinking. I would think more flow would transfer the cold from the water to the block instead of the heat to the water.
Air colling you want to do it backwards by transfering the heat to the heat sink, but with water I think you want to do it backwards and transfer the cold to the block.
I will be testing all this in January once I get everything going.

hypothesizes that the open style blocks, like the swiftech 462, are the best performing blocks. because you want absolutely fastest flow, and those provide it.
