The coolant will be distilled water with hyper lube super coolant in it. It's like ww but without the nasty smell. I will post the exact ammounts that I used for the testing in the review. I will be able to report room temp but not humidity as I have no device to measure this. You are right this would affect the cooling. I hadn't even thought of it.
For the rad I will be using a geo tracker core with an ebm 213 cfm fan. The tracker core performs extreamly well as does the fan. It should not in any way be the bottleneck in the system. I also have regular big mama style heater cores available that I could use if for no other reason than that they are in wide use and would be simmilar to what others are using. As a last option I have a black ice rev2 that I could throw in. My idea was not really to test rads so I will save that for another time. Whatever rad I choose I think it would be best to use it for all the testing but this is negotiable.
As for the barb sizes. I do believe every block I have for testing is either 1/2 or 5/8. I'm using 1/2id tygon tubing and it will work on both. So I will not need to use reducers and the like.
Ok here goes point by point.
2) I have inline temp probes and will measure inlet and outlet temps from the waterblock. What exactly are these temps for and what do they show?
3) No the oc results will be in the last part of the report when I compare results. It's not ment to be in any way temp related just simly which block gives the highest oc that is stable. Like everything in this oc sport this will not be able to be reproduced by most as the equipment I have now can oc beyond what most people will have. I just got the right combination of parts right now. I've never even had parts that oc'd like this before. As for a micromiter I don't have one so ther is no way for me to do this. I do however lap using glass/mirror and things should be flat.
4) I can try to measure this but allot of blocks are soldered and wont allow this. I will try to find this data from the manufacturer.
5) In my own testing I never get as exact as that. As3 simply isn't as picky as that but smetimes I get a tube that will be funny. Yes the whole tube. however for the sake of repeatability I will use a consistant method of applying it. Maybe billa will have some input on this or even if as3 should be used.
