I know you don't need me raining on your parade, but
do take this article to heart
"Bench vs. System Testing of Watercooling Components"
(its the same as the one on OCers)
I have concluded after hundreds of e-mails and forum 'discussions' that the 'problem' is not the appropriateness of the data presented, but rather that readers w/o a technical 'grounding' are unable to interpret the results - and therefore somehow think that something is missing
(are you thinking the same JD ?)
I have begun to assemble an assortment of pumps and rads (got plenty of wbs already), and at some point will present a 'system' analysis with actual temperature and pressure profiles with different combinations
BUT -> such will NEVER be done using a CPU as the 'heat source'
too many unquantified, and uncontrolled, variables
to which you would add the ACTUAL OC ?
jd, you have to be kidding
make a list of EVERY influence on the ACHIEVED OC ?
do listen to what Cathar is saying (
each individual CPU is UNIQUE)
and note the present activities of pHaestus as well
the plug and play crowd simply has to learn more about what they are doing
gmat
you are totally missing the crux of the issue
you are going to draw a conclusion which can easily (indeed probably) not be causative from your presumed variables
- need to really work through the 'decision tree' there
