direct die is not an option with current CPU packaging
ergo a non-issue
Ben
you're still missing the gradient 'visualization' (and I'm inept at dwgs)
[read more - post less ?]
graph, with a pencil. the guesstimated temps at the various 'points':
(no point in useless speculation about the 'internal' CPU temp)
CPU face/TIM joint
TIM joint/wb bp face
internal bp face/coolant (temp AT the bp face proper)
coolant temp AT the bp/avg coolant outlet temp
avg coolant outlet temp/avg coolant inlet temp
connect the dots
each of those lines represents a gradient within the CPU WCing 'system'
now address each of those, serially at first, then also as they interrelate with the adjacent gradients
- some are fairly straightforward, some hideously complex
it is this 'process' that Cathar was able to understand, and address
-> with apparently excellent results
