Les, thank you as always for your graphs.
Could I please trouble you just one last time to do a C/W comparison for an 11mm x 11mm die size generating 85W on the 30mm x 15mm channel setup, for 1, 2 and 4mm bases?
These are the parameters that I was mainly focussing on optimising in my simulation (since they most closely matched a Northwood P4 and an AthlonXP) and wanted to get an idea on how close your predictions and my predictions are. A 0.01 C/W at this level is fairly significant.
Just a single 3-curve graph plotting C/W vs flow-rates for each base-plate thickness would be wonderful.
You've suddenly got me second guessing myself, but before I tie myself into a knot deciding whether or not I should get a batch of blocks machined with a thicker base, I'd greatly appreciate an independent appraisal of whether or not I'm totally off-base.
