I like the heading for this new topic btw. Testing can encompass a whole spectrum of individual parts such as pumps for example. There should be a thread the clearly describes how to translate test data or specs over to a real world application. The info is already scattered about on this site but all in one place would be nice for people.
Benchmarking also covers a wide scope and overclockers just love them benchies.
Suggestion, Ben the best moderation is done in moderation.

I definitely want to get some work done in that area. It might fall outside of the Alliance, I don't know yet.
For all of Bill's test results on OC, the reality is that there's always been a gap between that testing, and how the end user is going to apply it, to build a water-cooled PC.
So all that data about the pressure drop of various heatercores, is really going to come in handy.

What point is there to discussing the administrative details of a cross-checking scheme for mythical test benches. Until baseline criteria are decided for the test bench itself, such discussion is just noise.

I agree, but the cross-testing is a very important part too.
The "cross-testing" as a topic isn't meant to be administrative, I meant it to be about how all the data is going to tie together. Similar to the example I gave, if tester A tests a block and gets results Xa with error margin Ea, and tester B runs the same tests, and gets result Xb within error Eb, and so on with testers C, D, E... How do the results tie in together, and how can we use the results to make an adjustment to the results of each of our test benches, if that's possible?
So there, that's what I meant.
Otherwise, although Bill's list is fundamental, does it really emcompass everything?
This is one of the problems that I've seen lately: in what I do, I don't consider anything as fact, unless it's been verified by two other independant sources.
So as much as I appreciate Bill's input here, I don't know if he wrote that up quickly with his right hand, while eating a sandwich with his left, or what. I take nothing for granted here, no matter from who it comes.
