Anyone hear about this?

"This is one of the highest (if not best) performing blocks currently on the market for AMD and P4 cpus. High flow, multiple, parallel 1/16" deep and wide micro channels. Channels are curved on the base to maximize turbulence. 1/2" Chrome barbs, 1/4NPT threads, black anodized aluminum cover prevents corrosion. Copper alloy 110 base is machined, lapped and polished." - www.becooling.com

I dont think it even comes close to the WW:s performance.

Complete BS.

It doesnt even have a center inlet!

Actually, the fin pattern is appropriately sized and the gap ratio looks almost optimal.

The issues are that it's in a side-to-side flow configuration, which means no jet, and that the flow is optimized to cool the fins more than the baseplate, which is where most of the heat will travel through.

Cathar tested this configuration with WW, but it didn't perform quite as well. It was still good though.

A center inlet may work well here, which wouldn't be too hard to implement, but the fins look pretty thick, so it'd need a flow seperator, IMO.

Another mod that might work well is the TC-4 mod, where one slips a spring in the channel, for more surface area, and turbulence.

It's a good block, just not optimal. At $50, it's fairly priced.
