What is the reason we review/test these blocks? I thought it was to give the reader and idea how well it would work in THEIR system. However from this page (http://www.systemcooling.com/swiftech_apogee-13.html) of that review and the discussion in this thread no matter what test bench or procedure we use we will simply not achieve the goal of telling the readers accurately what they want to hear. They don't want to hear "I got such and such results on my test bench but your results may very". That is pretty much what has been said and gives the reader no more info than before reading it. All I get from the review and this thread is buy one of 3 blocks (oops 2 have been discontinued, stuck with the Apogee) and hope it works well in your system.

So I am just failing to understand why we bother at this point.

Also note I am not discrediting Robo's work. he does a hell of a job with his reviews.

Might like to hear a little more insight and memory refreshment on what exactly we are achieving with our testing and if the results are actually benefiting anyone considering the discussion in this thread and the remarks from Robo on this page (http://www.systemcooling.com/swiftech_apogee-13.html) of his review.
