Bill,

Just 're-noticed' this comment from your Waterblock Bench Testing Results article.

Quote:
The decrease in "C/W" as the coolant inlet temperature increases above the ambient temperature of 26°C is largely due to the increased convection from the wb body as more of the applied heat goes to the ambient. This accounts for the T/W change as well. While a change is also apparent to the TIM joint's C/W, the reasons for such are not now known.
Die flattening with increased temperature reduces the thermal resistance of the TIM joint?
