"nope. Ive used 3 different thermal probes including a medical grade lazer probe.
All results are accurate on mobo +/- 2 deg max.
My ambient at the moment is 22C and you are telling me an Intel CPU should be running at 25 deg above that = 50C.
Bugger off
Its never been that high - even the time when I forgot to put water in the block and ran it air cooled.
None of you guys have even considered the insulating effect of any of the plastic hoses, reservoirs or anything.
Its sounds like your all using crazy academic theory to me."
What happens when you try to get someone to see reason. Oh well, i dont think this kind of thing is possible to stop... is it? (hes running a p4 3.0C @ 3.4 and claiming a 3 deg over ambient temp
at what he claims is an 89w heat output)
Im failing to see, seriously, how something can be done about it. This guys refusing to read; i posted thermaltakes own C/W graph, with 90w @ 24ish degrees shown on the graph. Hopefully a pretty picture will get the point across.
Nope, the graph didnt get the point across; hes wanting to 'see the maths' after he posted his own maths about the 1L of water never being able to heat up (of course, he neglected to show the surface area of the water, or the thermal gradient of the tim/copper/rad etc etc etc)
Its too frustrating arguing with people like this; they are adament in their assumptions, and they refuse to look at things in a different manner. This is why procooling is hated, because procooling is at the opposite end of this equation, with the facts to back it up; when they deny what 'we' (again, loosely) say, we tell them to go shove some form of suppositry up their arse. Whats the bloody point in arguing with people like this? its frustrating, and seemingly pointless. He will _not_ think any differently, no matter how much 'evidence' i give him...
