I'm not trying to be unreasonable.
I was surprised when I discovered that the cheaper radiator did as well / better than the more expensive one.
I had
thought that if something was surprising / unusual / contrary to expectations I'd ought to mention it.
I'm hesitant to report temps as they were
diode temps and weren't the same CPU (although were same model case, motherboard, fan) so the relation could easily be the reverse of what I saw - but probably not so far in reverse that it'd make sense to buy the more expensive radiator. Oh - and I possibly arranged case-wiring differently (no notes and can't remember) which also can have a big effect.
I'm certainly guilty of not being able to keep the BlackIce model names straight. I have to look at web pictures to re-figure-out which is which every time I order one (not that often, anyway).
I'm also guilty of not being
really clear about what I mean by silent.
Finally, I am guilty of beginning to "respond in kind" to Angry Alpaca (If he can question me, call my posts BS, I can do the same - stopped short of the BS part).
I apologize for these lapses.
However... I'm also a bit put off by the assumption that I'm BSing. I guess I'm just not used to it as this is
not typical in my field. I don't even get
why someone should BS in the first place. I feel like, as far as cooling goes, you folks all know
lots more than I do. I had thought that to the extent that some of the stuff I do is "off the charts to the bottom" I might have the occasional bit to contribute, and was, indeed, trying to contribute, not pollute.
I
do have questions for AA, but am hesitant to ask them here as it may seem like continuing an argument.
