Funny enough the data I got was FROM swiftec stating that currently Chips blocks will surpass theirs, but in the future they think that will change.
Swiftec thinks the volume of coolant you keep in a cpu cooler affects cooling more then its movement over a surface. I mean Chips blocks have half the surface area of some blocks, but just remove the heat so well.
this weekend I will be doing some Numbers on his blocks. But Swift was the one who said that their current generation of blocks are behind chips design, and their new one will be up to OCWC's cooling specs.
I still doubt it though. And we have been offered one for ProCooling... just waiting for it.
The base to my conclusion to chips blocks being better is that there hasn't been a block thats been as light, and efficient at what it does. Also this can get into business experiences people have had with swiftec.
Chips stuff is tried and true. Also my statement was based on the design of swiftecs block Vs Chips. Theres a few flaws in it on how the coolant flows.
( Hint: Swiftecs treatment of its customers was a reason OCWC was formed.)
