round and round we go.
Let me ask this simply:
How does varying levels of heat, change the ability of a waterblock to remove said heat?
So from one cpu to the next, there are varying levels of heat being transferred through the IHS. So what. Every single person that buys these blocks knows that someone else with the exact same setup, may have cooler, or higher temps based on the fact their CPU's may put out less or more heat.
The heat being trasferred to the block by the cpu being higher or lower does NOT affect the ability of the waterblock to remove that heat.
The amount of talking and lack of doing astonishes me. Ok, so you say you can't re-mount a waterblock to the same cpu because the IHS is changing its contact every time you do. The law of greater numbers will take over when you average out, and give you solid numbers either way. (solid enough for me and 90% of the community anyway)
You have 2 waterblocks. You want to compare them. You say if you use the same processor/comptuter setup to test them, the IHS will be different every time you re-mount. So mount it five times, alternating the block you use. ... so the variations will be as close as you can get. Then do the same thing on FOUR other computers.
I get the distinct feeling that everyone just keeps talking, making things more complex and more complex until no one knows at all what anyone else is talking about... but they sure did talk alot.
Bottom line: - as a consumer
Who is going to figure out which block performs better?
How are they going to figure it out?
Not that it would really matter... as demonstrated by this thread. No matter who did the testing or how they did it... half of you would believe them, and the other half would not.
Round and round we go. Someone pass the pepsi.
