You right, it is going nowhere... it just got me wondering why do ypu post links to article/testing results based on assumption that boundaey layer does not play a significant role in thermal transfer...
We all know that thinning the boundary layer is waht all the water block design and construction is about (and surface area).
It is like saying that it does not matter how many furr coats you put to protect yourself from icy wind since your comfort/temp is mainly/solely depenmdant on the speed of wind.....
It also got me thinking on a wake of L3D's review/preview article so ruthlesly humiliated by members here for use of pompous vocabulary hiding meritorical incoherence.
In my opinion the link posted by you is much more dangerous since the author is an engineer (and not thermal management one) and makes his smoke screen off sophisticated testing methods and fancy visualisations propped by lots of measuring using in-build MoBo thermometers put in nicely done tables.
Anyway, that's just me being picky I guess.
I voiced what was troubling me and that's it. Want to discuss, feel free
