Cathar did a lot of tweaking in those areas, and I'm sure the changes you've made are impacting the performance. How hard was it to make that block? Will you be able to do some fine tuning to your next one, or is that about as close as you can get, with what you have to work with? Once again, nice job. I can't recall the other blocks you mentioned, I'm gonna do a bit of digging and see if I can find them too.
peace.

Previous blocks have just been GPU and NB blocks.
This is not tweaked or anything, it's just been made as a first go, to get the Cyclone 5 out of my system (Copper and Alu, anodized but worrying none the less)
Im not sure the block is limiting me at the moment. From other people's results I certainly should have seen a 2-3C improvment moving from a LiquidCC Surge to a Cyclone 5.
I'm happy with the block however.
In the first picture is another one being made, that's as far as I got with it, but I might to just make it the same as this and then fiddle with the deisgn when I get different size copper.
