ich kann´s noch nicht testen, habe gerade meine Plattform gewechselt. Aber mehr als 0,5° werden es wohl nicht sein - wir haben´s gerade diskutiert.
Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Enzo und mit Anfitec sind nicht von der Hand zu weisen. Wobei der Zern da wohl eher der Quell der Schönheit ist
Vapor hat jetzt öffentlich was dazu gepostet

It's hard to say for sure without testing, but in my tests (sorry, still haven't published some of the small-fry testing I did for s&g), the Supreme DID benefit by ~.7C from a copper top. My hypothesis is that the bow was improved by the increased structural strength of the metal top vs. delrin. That said, the Supreme HF is the 'tightest' block I've seen to date, so I don't think there's as much to be gained by increasing the structural strength. The change of the inlet doesn't seem like that big of a performance changer since it looks like the inlet chamber is identical.
Plating does add only a few microns of material, but the basic fin/channel structure is already really small and a few microns can (and probably does) have some sort of impact; without testing it's hard to say if it's negligible, negative, or positive. The fact it's an inferior thermal material isn't as much of a concern, IMO. This is a particularly difficult thing to test--you need to test a base, then plate that very same base and retest it for any sort of "what does plating do" data.
As I've said before, Roundup #2 is coming to a close....I have the CPU-360, some of the unpublished data to release, and skinnee just convinced me to throw the Alphacools into Round2 before I wrap it up. Hopefully for Roundup #3, I'll be able to start off with XT vs HF vs HF-Cu vs HK vs CPU-360 vs whatever else might be deserving to be grouped into the elite.
