What do the D-tek Fuzion nozzles actually do?

I've looks at LOADS of sites for an explanantion, but the best answer I've been able to find anywhere is 'they restrict the flow slightly' and for the most part it's just the enigmatic 'they make it better'. Nowhere can I find an explanation of what they actually do.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Ah right, so they stir up the water and swap the hot water at the edges with the cold water nearer the middle? That makes sense.

I'm planning on getting a Fuzion when I sort my watercooled PC out. So it's worth getting the nozzles then? I'm also planning on running two GPU blocks on the same loop, so will the pressure drop be a problem?

Does anyone know if they noticaby affect the flow-rate (or, more specifically, the temps) for blocks further down the loop?

They can't affect the flow-rate "further down the loop". Flow-rate is constant, although pressure can change slightly at different points and water speed can vary. At a restrictive part of the loop, the water will travel faster but since it is going through a smaller point the amount of water (the flow-rate) is the same as through a slow fat part.

By 'further down the loop' I mean is that if one part of the loop is restrictive then it will slow the entire flow in the loop and affect the temperatures of other blocks - I could gave said 'further up the loop' and it would mean the same thing in this case. Obviously the nozzled block works better despite any restriction in the flow (or there wouldn't be much point in it) but I was wondering if the entire flow might be slowed enough to affect the temperatures of other non-nozzled parts like GPU and NB blocks conected to it.
