I actually think he is improving some. BUT I think he dosn't understand C/W to well.

I was under the impression that a CPU in idle state isn't using max wattage. If I am reading this right he used the max wattage (which is wrong to begine with as that estimator program should not be used in reviews as it is wrong) of said overclocked CPU in the equation (which means the CPU would be under full load not idle load?). What is even more troubling is the final answer. .079?
Also I noticed in his picture he uses a case temp and CPU temp to get a C/W? How can he be using a case temp when that is wrong. Main reason is the setup is not completely in the case and the side cover is off with rad outside of case?
Maybe I am just not reading things correctly....
Anyway I think his technique is a little better. Less big words and his computer appears to be off the ground and not by the window anymore.
