Agreed. Kinda skewing data to prove a point there.
Want to prove anything, you have to actual test and get data. Only estimates.
2)He's overlapping premuim heatsinks vs. underperforming WCing kits that are also 2-3 years old like a innovatek kit with eheim 1046. Not really a fair comparision. If he compared a Dtek kit for $170 vs $50 heatpipe thats a 3.5x cost factor, not 5x. I even checked out a custom kit for $120-$150 that would outperform heatpipes at 4800 rpms. So they are not that expensive.
Yet his conclusion says it all.
"All my desktops are water cooled, first and foremost for low noise. Newer heatpipes can effectively compete on this basis and deliver extremely good cooling performance, assuming excellent case airflow. Water will always trump air for the load it can handle."
I geuss the APEX kit did a lot better than he let off on his review.
And I thought I was being paranoid and his test results were way off and he had some motive making the kit seem so second rate.
