Thanks Gabe!

Everytime I do a new set of testing, I'm always trying to learn from the previous round. I think this next round I'm going to follow nicksub1's 5 mount method again, but I'm also going to add in testing with two levels of pumping power to see if there is any worthwhile gains with than, and also see if there is any ranking reversals with the different pumping powers.

Obviously we're not going to have access to the high quality equipement that you do, but it might give us an idea where we can improve our own methods.
Martin, unless you can keep the coolant at a CONSTANT temperature, testing with more/less pumps skews things. I tried this, with the RD-30 at 18v and then at 24v. All I got was higher readings at 24v due to the additional heat dump... you know that pumps dump less heat the more loaded down they are (more restriction). So naturally, without a chiller to keep the coolant at a constant more restrictive blocks will have an unfair advantage right off the bat. The only way to fly is with a chiller and a way to vary flowrate. Swiftech has such a setup.

And RRR for you to say that testers are biased if the MFGR gives the tester a block is just asinine. With that said, there is not one test or tester out there that you approve of. Sometimes you should learn to keep your mouth shut.
