For those of you who do not like marketing trash, I have streamlined and clarified the offending statement, which now reads:"outperforms all previously released Swiftech water-blocks"...
and you can take that to the bank !
In response to "letting customers fill-in the blanks":
not true and unfair. What is true on the other hand, is that I prefer to let hardware review sites define the performance of my products, as independant (and hopefully impartial) third parties.
Focused flow vs patent pending DPM (Diamond Pin matrix): for those of you who have been involved with liquid cooling for a long time, you may recall that Swiftech was the first Company to introduce Focused Flow. I used this technology because I didn't want any channels in my blocks.
The problem with this configuration is the inherent difficulty in bleeding the block, as pointed out by Steve [H], and others.
Relocating the inlet and outlet as they are now, allows flawless bleeding in any position, while the DPM structure really does a
magnificient job at absorbing the heat load, and yes, superior to the MCW462-UH by at least 1.5C (all tests equipment/conditions being equal).
My bottom line is this (no marketing here, just facts):
The product performs better than the best block we have ever made, it is more convenient and safer to use, it installs without removing the motherboard, and it is cheaper
I'm sure Bill A. will have a blast playing with it too ...
Happy holidays to all..
