Cathar
everything can be considered variable, we accept that
it is the degree of variation that is in question
I would not use an AMD CPU because of what I have heard about the IHS, I have no personal experience however
I have not heard of IHS related problems with current Intel products, nor in asking do I hear of them
so I do NOT assume AMD and Intel have the SAME CPU IHS problems
the TTVs use a TC so resolution is limited to 0.1°C, cross ckg TTVs indicated no differences that I could measure
are they all the same; forever ? - no, nothing is
Cathar, I have no devotion to TTVs, I will probably never have one; but they are a repeatable heat source
if the TTV numbers are wrong, they need a correction factor (as Intel provides for specific CPUs)
if the Swiftech numbers are wrong, they need an (appropriate) correction factor
I repeat, the TTV is a fine tool; the data's interpretation may be/is the problem
baby and bathwater issue
the TTV is only a tool, and 'produces' test results; a TTV does no cooling
as Intel says, confirm the results (Swiftech seems to have done so on a CPU)
-> a conflict between TTV and CPU results ?
the CPU every time, what else ? (the TTV is not a cooler)
get real Cathar, why would I "tear down" a tester for something they cannot get ?
I see the latest posts and now we have people believing that IHS and silicon temps are independent ?
ah, progress
