I think you misunderstood what Etacovda was saying. He was postulating that JoeC, as of about 5 weeks ago when he stated that his old small-die testbed had broken, is now perhaps using his newer 1" square die and extrapolating results as per the content of this recent article by JoeC => http://www.overclockers.com/articles1259/

As in, is it possible that all blocks tested more than 5 weeks ago were all done in the original small die testbed, and all newer tests in the last 5 weeks (including the Storm) are now being done on the newer 1" sq. die and extrapolated?

That is what is being proposed. I truly don't know, but I do know that the WW would not fare too well on a 1" square solid heat die, but only because a 1" sq. die is not how CPU's distrubute heat, not even IHS capped CPU's.
