What if we come up with a general setup.

Pump X. Radiator X. Tubing X feet long. Ability to measure water temp, ambient temp, cpu temp via thermistor under cpu. Cpu a 1700+ at default settings. No case. Arrangement, flat out with no component higher than the other. 1/2 OD tubing. Temperature using "cpu burn in" with no error checking measured every 5 minutes for 1 hour.

With these exact setups, anyone using the standard measure will have a comparable CW. If we make the equipment standard, and common, everyone should have access to the system or someone who does. The equipment can be items we already have graphs for. If we change the flow or head, we do it by changing from... eheim 1250 to a 1048 to a 1046.

Is this a start? Even if everyone cant agree on the exact accuracy, we will at least have a reference and know the shared strengths and shared weaknesses. Perhaps if we contributed to one persons setup, they could test for some of us.
