Kinda curious: anyone here ever considered making/owning a CPU cooler heater test setup? Something like what Overclockers and Anandtech does?
What you mean by "test setup"?Kinda curious: anyone here ever considered making/owning a CPU cooler heater test setup? Something like what Overclockers and Anandtech does?
I think he means units like those on the right in this [photo]
Yeah I'm kinda over myself now, LOL. Was thinking how cheaply one can part out and rig a heater benchWe need someone with good engineering background and time to invest in building such a contraption....
i saw that the IHS of my i7 6700k is concave, and it is concave quite a lot.SPCR used to use a heater, but went back to a real CPU because they realized subtle things like the way a concave or convex heatsink base interacts with the IHS affects the results.
What app do you use to m3asure temps?Anyone care to comment on their experiences using coolers on the Strix board versus other boards and whether these results seem appropriate? Also I am aware that I can remove one of the heatsinks, I just don't want to bother unless it will somehow magically lower temps by ten degrees. Also the ambient temperature was between 23 and 25 C throughout testing.
