So they're saying that this single radiator is capable of dissipating 918W. No mention of air-flow, no mention of air-water dT. No actual testing results provided to back any of the statements up I see. Usual standard practise for such radiators it seems.
Man, will there ever come a day which this sort of advertising tripe stops being peddled? |
Who is requiring the performance data? Only a few people. 99% of the market not only believes proper testing with scientific method and equipment is a complete waste of time done by a egomaniacs but they also wouldn't know what to do with the data if provided.
When and if water cooling goes main stream and large companies like DELL get into the game their engineers will require performance data and in fact there will probably be official standards/spec manufactures will have to follow. Until then the end user is the main buyer of parts and as said they don't care. They have no desire to prove how well something works because Joe Blow says they got 2C under ambient with such and such rad so it must be leet.....
Right now PC water cooling is considered a novelty item so performance specs are not required.
