Adding HSFs to interactive waterblock comparator?
 

Hey guys, especially pH,

Would it be possible to add a few heatsink/fan combos to the interactive waterblock comparator? Obviously, one would have ot add (estimate) c/w, then deltaT of a radiator, but one could begin to get a general idea of performance.

seems as easy as testing a WB, if not easier....no flow control measurements ot make, just smack it on and test with a given axial fan

test at 7v and 12v if you really want.

Just looking for something to give a rough guide.

Delta T reported on the wb comparison are CPU - water. HS/fan testing is CPU-air. So they aren't directly comparable.

I am about to do some complete wc kit testing; I can put a couple of hs/fans in that as reference if you like.

Yeah, I thought so, but one could estimate by estimating their rad's c/w, then calculating approx. heatload of CPU, then estimating total deltaT from air to core.

whole lotta estimation, but better than no idea at all.

A couple HSFs in comparison to the kits would be quite awesome, thank you very much for taking the time, let me know if I can help, I have an old vantec aeroflow HSF here.

Just a stock AMD cooler or "this something" that come with the CPU in the boxed package + Zalman CNPS7000Cu as reference from the better coolers do the job, IMHO ;) :D

And definitively give ppls the idea about why watercooling :D

...as for the delta t comparsions die/water temp and die/air temp then I think that altrought there is still the unknown factor of radiator used (fans on them on fanless), it basicaly should not be anything to be concerned about!
Since on witch and how much user can cool the water down the delta t did not matter - or at least should not much ;)

I mean - it's more that likely that the delta t will be the same (over very close) if the water got 20 or 40C, right? (just the CPU die temp will differ in 20C, but delta t - the effectivity from witch the block transfer the heat to the water - will remain)
Therefore these values should and can be compared to the delta t between die/air in case of aircooling, not?

Okay, with a note that for example thermochill 120.3 rad with 2 fans at 12V pushing 120 cfm trough it is used to cool water :D

want a res ? (we no longer offer the F&B kit)
