Gruntville review of Frost-Byte H2O (pg7)

We all know that temperatures are calculated by complex formulas and it seems that either, or both, formulas that ATI and Albatron use are a little off.

As for the rest of the results, they are very impressive. The efficiency of the water cooling loop that VoyeurMods has put together in

A "little off"?
I went from raised eyebrows to laughing out loud to feeling I just had to share this with someone.
Apologies if it's inappropriate here (probably belongs in a "nerds' humor" forum) - I promise to avoid "outside" reviews for a while and spare you all from my idea of "funny"...

I found it more humorous they think the White Water is from Danger Den...

Yeah I guess the letter D can be confusing and troubling at times.

One would hope that an official review would have it correct though. :shrug:

Oh it's Gruntville. I was wondering how the SF kept getting that margin over the WW...
Why would the temperatures be arrived at by formulae at all? Can anyone explain why they wouldn't just measure them?

On another note, I just noticed that the post count is gone...

Diode readings involve a conversion by the reader AA
