I just got my flowmeter from pHaestus (its an analog meter, so it does introduce a lot of head loss itself) And I've been doing some testing of different set ups. I won't go into too much detail here, but my concern is this: My dual pass Chevy Caprice heatercore plus my Maze3 waterblock take my flow down from 4 GPM to 2 GPM. My Z-chipset block alone also takes the flow from 4 GPM to 2 GPM. So basically that dinky little thing is half of the flow resistance in my cooling loop; it just doesn't benefit me enough for that much restriction. Whats a less restrictive northbridge design?
