    This is still the thing bugging me. Im especially curious how a company ends up in a design which doesnt allow compressions to be used. My random guess would be that close to half (maybe 30-40%?) of people do have compression fittings so you are leaving out a lot of possible customers just because their expensive compressions wouldnt fit the block. And that's on a market which is relatively small to begin with (although watercooling is getting popular, I dont know if you can call it a big market yet?) and has a lot of competitors.

    It's just really bugging me because it feels dumb as it basicly costs the company money just because one "small" thing is missing. And I would definitely buy this block over all the other cpu blocks out there because it looks really good and performs just as well as the others.
