With out being too technical, as the flow rate decreased the change in performance in a pin style block suffered less. So much so that this pin style block could operate using ¼ tubing, an 80 GPH MAX pump and still provide enough heat transfer for what we use it here- CPU cooling. The thing is this – Pin style block work really well if you want to water cool using a small pump, they work well with an exposed core CPU, and seem untouchable in performance using a T.E.C or integrated heat sink CPU.
Now as you may know nothing good comes free. The main draw back is that pin blocks take longer to make which = more machine time = higher cost = less people willing to make and sell them as all this adds up to less profit.
Note:
This testing was done using the spec’s giving earlier
