You may have been down to 10 gph, but you were not using a block designed to work at that flow rate. As to flow resistance, bear in mind that pressure loss is a function of flow and the resulting pressure required to move 3 gph is virtually zero.
At 3 gph, convection coefficients obviously would be quite low. This is why you would require a block with a whole lotta surface area in contact with the water, ala a typical air cooled heat sink.
It will work, but it'll never be used by the hardcore DIY crowd, who incidently make up far less than 1% of computer users.

I don't see it working for any crowd. Not if heat is going to double and die size is going to shrink. Would have to be one hell of a block to be able to spread the heat out into a large WB with only 3gph pump. Not to mention the holes in this pump are 1 micron thick. How do you keep it from plugging up?
Tech that is over my head clearly.
