I think the only accurate measurement is to have a block A's temp and using the same system showing block B's temp. This way you can run the exact same everything and say, block X was better on my setup by X degrees.
Perhaps CW is really not a useable measurement for anyone as it can't be applied to anything else but the reference system.

Well there is a level a relativity. As long as you use something more accurate than the onboard probes, like the TC mounted under the CPU, and you can have a level of repeatability and consistancy then what you get should hold true to others.
If I get 40C on a Maze 4, 38C on a Maze 3, and 36C on a White Water then the next guy should have consistant "relative" temps. In other words if he has 50C On the Maze 4 he should get 48C on the Maze 3, and 46C on the White Water. All depending on ambient temps. This providing he uses identical parts I do which is simply not going ot happen.
I said not possible and I was refering to the average Joe. It is possible to set a standard for people like pH. The problem is there are to many renegade site's that don't care enough or are simply not capable of doing what pH is doing or anything even close for that matter. His results will only apply to us as we are the readers of his work. The countless number of other techs sites will be on their own and this is how all this ignorance continues to spread as you have people in charge of a website that many people read and they don't think that they need to worry about decent testing. Times that by 100(s) and you have the mess we have now. One or two sites above the rest and 100's of wannabe's saying the two sites are just full of shit and arrogant assholes, simply because they are incapable of doing it right so they have to make everyone else think they are not wrong and these 2 sites are full of it so they keep their "cattle" they call readers/members clicking their ads and ramping up their daily hits.
They are just not up to doing right. That is how it has always been and after a recent thread in which I got banned I do not see that changing.
