Here is my take on this.
I myself do not have the level of math skills that many on this board have. Frankly many of the algabra fomulas offered for the use of the readers in some articles & threads leave me in the dust.
Yet from finding this board I've increased my understanding of what makes a well designed & high performing system. I now know what to look for in grafs in articles showing temps vs. flow, head loss vs. flow rates ect. Now I look for such grafs in testing reports, and I want to see more of them.
Phaestus article on gaining flow by optimizing your fittings, pipe & tube choices was great & was written for ease of understanding. But he covered the differant ways to increase a systems flow rate without changing pumps or anything other than the properly chosen fittings ect.
In BillA's articles when testing waterblocks he tests with a heat load of 70 watts, which is fine. I do wish he would add a test at somewhere between 110 watts and 125 watts to show the increase in temp rise to be expected with that block at a second and much higher heat load as would be found in a medium high to high O/C. And there are math formulas that I know allow this to be found based on the C/W findings. But I doubt I'm alone in not being able to so find them, yet I'd like to have this info now, and hope to learn the math as I go along.
Beyond that one addition I don't want to see BillA change anything he does. While I get little from the algabric formulas others do gain from them. And with time I may do so as well. I'd much rather read a article that challanges me to improve myself in order to better understand the data offered, than read a [H] "shoot out/round up" type article.
