Define putting restriction on the flow?

Thinks he means the block he bought over his last block reduced flow and reduced temps.
Hard to decipher, for sure not scientific input, maybe a post by a mad scientist?
Fun post nothingless............

Mhh, okay. Duuu. You might know we know a lot about blocks and flow rates. You mystery posts mean nothing.
Post your loop and etc. And pics.
Or umm done here. TY very much for the mystery science theater 3000.

LOL, I have no doubt that you have no idea about flow rates and heat exchangers after reading this post http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6332602&postcount=4
and it is a sticky in this forum, you don't know what your doing, and your advice shows it.

Conundrum knows what he's talking about, and the advice in that post is absolutely correct. If you want to dispute something he's said, it's more constructive if you take a nicer tone and provide some evidence that supports your opinion.
As for your waterblock mod, that's delightful that you got better temps. Care to share your testing methodology, describe the mod you did, and maybe post some pictures?

Ek supreme HF, heatkiller, and apogee Xt are only 2-4C lower temps than the Enzotech sapphire according to those that have tested both, and that is at OCed settings, the difference would be possibly less at stock (lower TDP) settings):

And most of those 3 have taller pins (thermal advantage) + jet plates professionally designed and optimized.
So Spitter3, if you improved the Enzotech Saphire by 7C at stock load settings, then you have taken that mediocre performing waterblock and made it at least 3C better than heatkiller, Supreme HF, and Swiftech XT, in other words, you have by far the best performing block on the market, that is if you improved the design by 7C.
However, all the other blocks when changing jet plates, from worst to best jet plates, only change temps 1-2C.
Impressive claim, would really like to see pics.

Seriously? A new member and already acting like a know-it-all and being rude to known, respected users?

Let's not forget this graph from your link to skinneelabs, which shows all of the blocks referenced (and more) up to ridiculously high flow (in excess of 3.5GPM, 4GPM in the case of the Sapphire). The difference between average flow (~1.5GPM) and crazy flow seems to be ~1°C, with max being ~1.5°C.
So pardon us OP, but your vague claims seem... less than valid? Sorry, but it's the kindest phrase I could come up with. Here, let's lighten the mood with a fun smiley!

People attribute temperature variations to the wrong thing all the time. Almost no one goes through the trouble of testing various mounts and observing load temps - and if you don't do it multiple times and observe variations, you don't really know if you have a good mount or not.
Still, people have made restriction mods before to change the way the water enters the block and observed good results before. Not sure of how likely that is in this case, given we don't know anything about his loop, but anything is possible if you don't know the variables involved.
