very few users install a wb correctly, so it is to be expected that their 'reports' re wb performance are bunk
- and I suspect the 'reviewers' are little better

here is the very simple test to evaluate the 'quality' of the wb's mounting:

with the case in its normal position, unfasten the wb's retention system
- where is the wb ?
if it is still sitting correctly on top of the CPU, congrats - you have a good hose installation

I’ve said this many times: the coolant hoses must be 'externally supported' so that they do not affect the wb's mounting
- these bending moments are why users get such wild results,
they just don't know what they are doing, or don't care enough to do it correctly

it is NOT easy, I have a WW in a P60 case and I had to resort to copper tubing supported from the case frame
quite a chore
