a thread about a product was spun into declaiming the TTV as a thermal test vehicle to cast doubt on the provided data
for those concerned with the relative performance of the Apogee, just wait until someone says that which you feel like believing; no reason at all you have to make a purchase decision - lots everywhere will offer advice
for those concerned with the use of a TTV, ignore all test results that do not use a Cathar approved heat source (all Swiftech wb thermal data, perhaps the hsf data too as there was/is no die temp !)
note that I do not have a TTV, and likely never will again; but they are the best heat sources I know of and I'm glad for the opportunity to have been able to use 'state of the art' technology
- new TTVs will reflect new products, much farther yet from a simple copper slug (think dual)
that Cathar declines to answer questions about which source IS acceptable does leave a quandary
which of Lee's dies is 'acceptable' ?
(that which shows the Apogee in the worst light to satisfy the expectations / pronouncements of a competitive designer ? - so convienent to be able to wait until the results are in before committing, eh ?)
Which of Joe Citarella’s dies are ok ?
Can Derek use an IHS ?
If the IHS/CPU thermal transfer is suspect, -> WHAT IS THE QUALIFICATION PROCEDURE TO ENSURE THAT THE INTERNAL TIM JOINT IS ‘OK’ ?
- note that you do now need to APPROVE something, something at all please
there are threads relating to the die size, where was/is Cather's input ?
all criticism is acceptable when accompanied with a corrective suggestion
