Good ole Canada; today's a holiday!
I don't have quite as much time to test now as I did last month because we have
a brand new baby at the house now. Nonetheless I have several projects to finish up.
The MCWChill testing was cut a little short by the untimely demise of the Swissflow flowmeter. Dunno wtf could have happened to it; it was working fine a week ago but when I went to test with it 2 days ago it was no longer working. Crap crap crap. At any rate I'll just take the data I have collected thus far and write that review up this week. Thanks again to Swiftech and Bill for sending the prototype.
There are 2 projects I need to take care of quickly: A review of Swiftech's complete water cooling kit that they kindly sent to me, and a review of their new 92mm -V heatsink. I'll try to set up the kit today. The heatsink I am waiting on a 92mm Stealth and Tornado fan (ordered last week from
www.bigfootcomputers.com).
Once these reviews are completed, I am seriously going to begin waterblock testing. I also am rebuilding Pro/LAN with new cooling gear and starting on a Pro/LAN-related mod project (bought the stuff last night). Should be fun.
A question about waterblock testing has arisen in my mind due to the recent discussion about
www.liquidninja.com 's wb roundup. Would the readers of this site be interested in a waterblock comparison doing the best I can right now with current stuff? That stuff includes: Calibrated AMD internal diode reading, 4 YSI liquid probes, 2 YSI air probes, flow rate measurement, and a willingness to repeat tests repeatedly. I think I can get some handle on CPU W by comparison of deltaT across wb and T/W using a block I got from Bill (a cross calibration if you will). If the review would be met with general derision though I will just continue to do other things while I wait for a good price on a few DMMs suitable for measuring V and A on my die simulator.
