Andrew at Millennium-thermal suggested once that business cards between the heatsink and socket are useful to exclude some secondary cooling paths. It is very close to time to get my wc testbed up and running for some comparisons. I will play around with the air cooling stuff more tonight and tomorrow and then Saturday and Sunday set up a wb.
SO many testing ideas leap to mind. For example, I really wish I had a TBredB and a Barton and a Morgan all to play with (and look at cache and die size effects) but money is a bit tight at the moment for such extraneous consumables. May buy a 1700+ TBredB just for the hell of it though.
I am not exactly sure what you mean with different cooling temps and the heatsink Les. You mean a temp controlled chamber with different ambient temps? I guess I may have to start pricing something like that out if I want to get serious...
