who can help me make a test bed?
id like to have block of copper be able to get pretty hot and be able to measure the watts going to it.
something that would be fairly accurate and be like 0-1200 watts or so.

what i would really like is a copper block i can mount a heatsink on and have a knob to control the watts with a digital readout that is telling me the exact watts of it. but something that can pretty much exceed any cpu out there. into the 1000 watt red hot range.

The hard part about using a computer is getting decent temps consistent temps. The hard part about a die sim is the construction of the die itself. You can't just throw any chunk of copper on and think it will work. You will want to make 3-4 different one's to try and replicate the different dies of the current CPU's. Single core, duel core, quad core and even tri core. Then you also have both AMD and Intel in which the designs are not similar and the heat sinks will react different on both brands. If I was to start over I would buy a AMD mobo that would accept as many different AMD CPU's as possible and and Intel mobo that would accept as many Intel cpu's as possible. Then find one very good overclocking CPU for each and then buy a few other types of CPU's. Test the heat sinks on all of them and give a comparison. That would benefit the readers the most. Might want to follow this technique: http://www.overclockers.com/articles1312/ If you are really set on the die sim approach then find a very good machinist and start designing some die's to match the current CPU's the best as possible. Use a simple heater cartridge and a variable power supply and use a high quality meters to read volts and do simple math to get the watts. Volts x Amps = Watts Insulate them as best as possible and make sure they have a good solid mounting system. Also have the machinist make several extra die sims of each kind as the do wear out pretty fast being you have to remount the heat sinks several times. |
