I don't know how [H] conducted their test, which would probably have been more accurate, if they had repeated it three times (at least), no? They should have at least been able to see that there's a problem with their testing, because of the variance, no?

Missing the point completely. My point was that they set out to test waterblocks, and only proved in the end that different waterblocks have different flow resistance. Let's ignore the larger issues with the review (did room and water temperatures change? Sure they did) and just stick with that. What that would tell a would be wb maker is that the best performance comes from using the least flow restriction. Why is this the case though? Could it be because higher flow rates put the radiator in a better position to produce lower water temps? How does that relate back to the would be wb maker? Wrong impressions.
If you want to test your watercooling SYSTEM then you really should just learn how to calibrate thermistors and then plumb in 4 water (wb inlet and outlet and rad inlet and outlet) and 2 air (radiator intake side and exhaust) sensors. Monitor how changing the layout, fan speed, waterblock, etc affects temperatures. Then you can start to make some inferences in where improvements can be made.
