    @rge. Thanks so much for the link. It's fun to read German by Google translate. Makes me want to clean up my grammar. Now that I know your rows had multiple results in each row, what exactly was the SD describing? the worst case or an average? I am only seeking to the math and how it might help us. For example, several testers testing several blocks gives greater reliability. Thanks for the help.

    @XS...On to flow...and the CPU Water Block Flow Rate (MCP35x2@39%PWM) graph. Stren makes some gorgeous bar graphs. When I count the bars, there are 15 so N = 15. When I put the numbers in the calculator and round to 3 significant figures, the mean is 1.68 gpm and median 1.72 gpm. SD is 0.176 and population (using all 15) SD is .170 gpm. The only ones below -1 SD are the Apogee HD, Rasa, and UC-1 LT, which are moderately restrictive relative to the pack. The MIPS IceForce HF is probably the High Flow champ but barely flirts with +1 SD.

    If I was using this to help guide parts selection, I would encourage those who purchase the UC1-LT to have a good pump, like a Laing, if it is going to part of big loop. Relatively speaking it's slightly more restrictive than Swiftech's Apogee HD, which helps place it. As always, please correct me if I erred. Just my opinion. Again, many thanks to stren for sharing his work.
