fair enough. agreed, and i believe your simple setup would outperform the reserator. i think i should have stated that this is softcore watercooling to avoid so much bashing.
i guess to improve the performance -easily- would be to use the mcw6000 waterblock in place of the zalman one??

in your first post you said it would be crap performance, and when i informed you that the heatsink it was compared to was the best you said the review is poorly done and poorly measured.. mmm...
first of all we're comparing a kit to a heatsink. not a waterblock, a radiator etc. so i guess we can forget about the performance level of each individual component and compare it as a whole -- and thats what bit-tech did.
IIRC the cpu thermal diode on an Intel processor is
internal so i think the readings would be fairly consistent & i don't see how it can be poorly measured since its pretty straightforward
*i do not own a p4 so i don't know for sure
and by the way, if you don't already know, it doesn't matter what the manufacturer call them. thermaltake claims their products are the best, so you are gonna believe it?
thats what these forums are for.
