Bill:

Was referring to resistors on copper blocks (since that was mentioned by Bigben2k). Should have been more clear. Your simulator and test methodology seems to be quite good: I looked at your older flow rate vs heat load table at o/cers and noticed your %efficiency was around 98%. Not sure what you were meant by %efficiency; isn't that basically a heat balance? If you are accounting for 98% or more with your numbers then your simulator is working exceptionally well.

I would assume that the memory/fsb/settings dependency will vary from application to application. It may be necessary to combine several different operations at once to really get close to "maximum" load. I was also thinking about trying K7Burn in realtime mode from DOS, as high priority in windows already heats up the processor a good big more than Prime95 or foldiing or the others. I will have 2Hz sampling with the Maxim kit and I was planning on trying all of the common "100% CPU load" programs and see how they responded. I can easily try adjusting FSB as well with same MHz (Durons are easy to unlock).
