In all seriousness,

This does sound like a good idea considering the limited resources availible for such testing.

That and the level of accuracy often demanded by the users of this forum would most assuredly end up pushing the quality of those tests up a notch or two.

As for me The rig I am planning currently would be an excellent Source for a standardised rig if I can get and accurate measuring device for flow and such of the water at different points in the system such as before and after the waterblock etc.

All I should need to do is install temp probes at key areas of the system such as the input and outputs of the radiator and waterblock for reference purposes (calibrated of course) to get an idea of the amount of heat being disipated.

Unfortunately we all know that in rig testing is sketchy at best, but is all most of us have.

Perhaps If I could get an idea of what is needed to produce an accurate die simulator for the various AMD and Intel chips I could see about adding a test bed rig into the cabinet and use it as a as close to real life setup as you could get with a die simulator by placing it inside a case with limited airflow and such or even in a sealed enclosure to remove airflow as a possible source for error.

I for one would be willing to help out with this if anyone may be interested in a discussion regarding the feasibility of such a setup.
