Not sure how to back calculate "W" from a baseplate temperature? The insulation is definitely a problem for the 3 barb blocks, but honestly I am not so interested in this now that I found out that weird results were operator error
I will, if there is interest, run tests as function of MHz and Vcore using whatever block is on my testbed this week (it's the aquajoe atm). There's a catch though. Can get someone (Les? Incoherent? Groth?) to use results to come up with better radiate-style equations for CPU power using my data?
