So, bearing in mind that the thread is about the Cuplex Evo, do you happen to know the thread size of the Evo, or are you just assuming it's 1/4"?
Armed with the correct information, what is the largest ID available for a 1/8" thread? ([Edit] I meant 1/8", not 3/8" as origginally typed, sorry.)
Or are you suggesting people bore out and retap their blocks based on your findings with a totally different design of block?

The picture you showed appears to have a 1/4" BSP parallel thread compression fitting next to the push-fit angle. I wouldn't advocate using a taper thread to replace it but that's just me, (I've known people crack acrylic blocks this way).

It's not just about being right, it's about discussion until all doubt and confusion is removed from all sides (mine included).

I didn't say it wasn't relevant, I said it was unwarranted.
The original poster asked for people's experience with these particular blocks and was initially shown an example using one of the optional fittings choices (perhaps commonly known by all as the lowest performing configuration out of the options available - this point is moot).
If you look closely, you will see that the first version I posted a pic of doesn't use the angles at all.

I have run straight fittings in the block before. I can get similar temperature drops from relocating my case to the floor instead of on the desk.
Having designed my system around the possible future integration of my chiller into the loop, the angles aren't that massive of a concern for me.
I'm happy with it.

Oh and I have no aversion whatsoever to your graphs, I merely stated that _some people_ would rather know the conclusion to your findings illustrated with a link to the article (perhaps even with the graph, if it illustrates the point).
I read your posts and the article and still don't know what your temps were.
Not that it matters, of course. I had already got your point before you made it.

Perhaps the reason I can't let go of this is that anyone glancing at this thread may think that the block only comes with those fittings options and from your statement they might infer that the block itself is not a performer.

I must admit, all the way through this thread, I have been assuming you have no experience with this particular block.
If I am wrong, let me know.
If I'm right, however, let's see what we can do to change that.
YGM.
