That's fair evidence, but if cathar and vijal had different experience with the block, why should I believe cathar was right? I mean, you make it sound so obvious. I could easily use the exact oposite argument; that cathar doesn't know what he's doing and vijal proved it...
Now that I've read it, I'm a little more worried about why the cpu temps on the maze4 were much lower than ambient temps, than any possible assembly errors. I must agree with alch. Those pics don't tell us anything about how he put this thing together.

Sorry if I sounded like I was pissed off or trying to flame you as I am not.
Maybe you do not understand who Cathar is? He has designed the two best PC water blocks on the planet! Cathars White Water got tested by Bill Adams which is the most respected block tester around and his results backup Cathars results. Cathar used his own White Water to test against his Cascade which beats the White Water. And he used the Maze 3 as a comparison when building the White Water. Being the White Water and the Cascade are at the physical limits of perfection the Maze 4 would not only beat the Cascade but we would have to re-write the laws of physics in order to accept it!
Granted though it is not really to accurate to use Cathars results as a guide but there is just no way this review was even in the ballpark of reality!
Now here is another review that got the Maze 4 2.5C ahead of the Maze 3. Which is still contrary to what real users are getting but MUCH more realistic.

I really wish I had a Maze 3 to compare against my Maze 4. I tested the Maze 4 and thought the results were not to bad but all I have is self made blocks to compare to.
