Warning !!! Don't Buy Aluminium Waterblocks

and what about half the D-Tek blocks in that table which are no longer in production and the Silverprop blocks which again are no longer in production. TDX and RBX again are old.

You don't throw out testing data, no matter how old. At worst, you correct any invalid data as any flaws in testing technique and methodology come to light... or simply highlight on the old data that methodologies have changed and thus results may not be directly comparable. TDX and RBX are both still current blocks that are in use, and thus the presence of their data remains valid. An archive of data is needed to establish trends and curves over time. Just because old data features does not make a site old. It makes that sites information more complete than one that focuses solely on the latest and greatest. Overclockers.com will always be one of the Top10 resources for watercooling data purely BECAUSE of the age of it's content - you'll find a great deal of questions asked here daily could've been answered by a quick search of the "older" sites - overclockers.com, procooling.com etc that are now commonly disregarded when searching for info. You'll note in every thread I've replied in today, my responses all refer to "old" data, however that data is all perfectly valid and directly applicable to current products and techniques. To dismiss the old means to dismiss that which has already been learned, and thus necessitates the dredging up of dross that's been covered over and over again in the past on a daily basis... to do so is a fools game.
