As for socket modding, it's an alternative, not a single solution: you would have picked that up if you had read the entire thread (I know, it's long!).

If you want to mention Tom and [H], you ought to run a search within these forums, to find out exactly how we feel about them...

He knows how we feel about [H] and toms and he knows how serious we are about block design. He's just trolling. Thats why he posts garbage like he has in this post: http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...662#post82662.

Am I the only one that finds it odd he manages to touch upon all the issues that stirs things up around here?

SHIT! I lost my reply because my login time expired. That happens to me alot ... Here's my best recreation of what I wote:

I don't need to be insulted, and I don't need to brag about my physics knowledge to qualify what I say. Water block design is not exactly serious thermal engineering. The chaotic nature of the physical processes happening inside a water block practically rules out this type of indepth analysis completely. It's more a matter of trial and error and best guesses.

If I didn't take your word for it, jd, it should be of no suprise to you, since it is the whole nature of scientific investigation to not rely a small number of results. I would have more readily believed you if you had referred me to other reviews instead of simply yelling seniority. I never even disagreed with you that those results don't make sense. Why are you getting so excited about it?

I lost my post again, but I don't think I timed out Oh well...

For your information, jd, I did do my own research, but only after no one would help me out. In the past, I have had pretty bad experiences searching for water cooling info on the web, so it was pretty frustrating for me. My first reaction to this thread, therefore, was not to crawl the net searching for more info. I guess times have changed... (consider this: the last round up of water cooling products here was in jan 2002 so that sorta illustrates the still sparceness of reliable water cooling info on the web).

Simply designing and building water blocks does not constitute thermal engineering. Engineering is a design process which involves the ability to accurately predict how the design will work. I'm not saying that your experience has not helped you to design and build effective water blocks, but it's not an exact science as you've made it out to be.
