One word answer: "No"
Brief answer: Room temperature, actual system flow, impact of particular block on flow vs remainder of components, radiator selection, inherent imprecision of onboard sensors, etc., etc.
Real answer: The difference in performance among "good" blocks is sufficiently close that the sum of measuring errors introduced by "ghetto" testers dwarfs true performance differences.
Corollary to the real answer: All but the anal can blithely accept that "good" blocks perform close to one another, pick any of the "good" ones, and not worry any further.
Welcome to Procooling, home of the anal cooler. LOL. I wonder if Joe will consider using that in an advertisement for the site. Note, that's "anal cooler" and not "@ss cooler".

Thanks myc65. Always willing to learn.
Even though all the varibles you state in the "Brief answer" will affect the accuracy, do you really need ?‡th degree accuracy to design a w/b? I mean, if someone posted their results compared to a Maze3, wouldn't you be able to tell if it's a "good" w/b? If so, then others may incorporate that design into future designs or modify it furthermore? Isn't that what this forum is all about?
I do realize that in a sense, you'd be comparing apples to oranges with this method, but by comparing to a known baseline I think it would be close enough for most users of this site. Now a few (e.g. Cathar, jaydee among others) this might not be good enough, but their some much more advanced than the rest of us!
