I find it amusing that Bill gets reported to the moderators for not giving up his company's trade secrets. In another thread he is asked who mfgrs the new pumps so Swiftech can be undercut on price. Laughable.
The important point here is that Bill pointed out that lower flow rates coupled with the pin fin design on the inner chamber are how the swiftech pelt chiller succeeds while other setups have failed. That seems to be useful information. Also consistent with Lytron's choice of pumps in their chillers:

This may or may not be relevant though; Lytron uses incredibly restrictive waterblock designs, don't they?
Now it seems clear to me that I should test the Swiftech chiller with a valve in the loop to adjust flow rates way down. The smallest pump (and lowest power) I have handy is a Hydor L20 and so it should still be able to go from 0.3-1 GPM or so with my flowmeter present. The reasons why this works are probably something we should come up with ourselves. Develop a hypothesis that can be tested and I will be glad to do so if it's reasonable. I haven't had time to think too much about this because I am trying to get work stuff done
