Seems like a very promising design and claims 20% improvement.

20% over what? Does it specify exactly to what it's 20% better than?

That looks nice! but we all know each swifty product has a different rate of performance ... is it 20% better than the previous best?

Yes its 20% better than the MCX462 U waterblock (i think thats the correct name if not you know what i am talkin about)

cant wait to try it out looks perfect for me actually since i want the abit Nforce 2 but that doesnt have holes in it!

As opposed to Danger Den, who's been making crap lately. My DD GPU block is already oxidizing (after less then a month) and my Maze3 started leaking. Almost killed my 9700!

Only thing I don't like about it is that it won't mount directly
onto a P4 mobo.... I mean I know the retention clips will
use a lot of pressure, but I'd feel a lot better if I could tighten
it on using mounting holes myself.....

plus, it's going to be hard to insulate with that retention clip
in the way....

Mounting holes are the best way to hold a block although it's a bit annoying when you want to remove it

I'm suprised mounting screws are not an option.
