That's on a Kentsfield
I haven't shown any of my Conroe testing yet
(also redid the loop, removing the VL3s and remodding the MCP350s to 355s (I think one of the pumps 'lost' the mod), so flowrates should be higher now)
Preliminarily, I think it's more of how the Fuzion base behaves with dual die vs. single die. Conroe is at higher settings than my Kents and is also a very high leakage Conroe, so heat output is surprisingly close.
My E6700 gives my single stage a few problems when a known-normal B2 X6800 didn't at higher voltage and MHz
Subzero cooling is pretty telling for that kind of thing fortunately.
i7 will be awhile, still finalizing the testbed....not sure what kind of CPU I want to use (C0 vs. D0, regular vs. high-leakage, ES vs. retail, etc.).
Then I'll do the Fuzion V2 gamut to make sure all is 'well' with the testbed....and then I'll work through various other CPU blocks progressively (i7 will get a higher priority than it does now though).
I think your results are going to be pretty reasonable and logical....you have a block that's showing signs of being flow-agnostic (too early to tell, but the signs are there) and a loop that has much less cooling power than my setup* and pumps that are more thermally expensive**.
* PA120.3 + 3x 1250RPM F3s vs. MCR320+220 sandwich with 2600RPM shrouded San Aces
** D5s dump more heat than DDCs (especially because, unfortunately, it seems my res-top DDC lost its 3.1->3.2 mod at some point during testing (probably very early, like mid-test on the Stock nozzle based on apparent flowrates) and therefore was running even cooler).
Damn Andy, you do have quite a bit to test
I'll be very interested in D5s vs. DDC3.25s
Hmmm, I have 2 pumps in a single loops with three rads and I get better temps on everything than when I had 2 loopsand this is with only 2 fans on the 480, 1 fan on the 240, 3fans on the 360...I am using one d5 and a D4, I am cooling the cpu, mosfets, NB/SB, and dual GTX 295's.... I decided to get the HK 3.0 LT for the lower Pressure drop and the temps are very close! Could the unpolished base be the temp difference between the KL 350 and HK?

Great test Hondacity ...how is EK Supreme comparing to the HK block?
I need to make a decision about the water block in the following days,
and so far Supreme or HK Rev.3.0 LC are the only option to get without
paying an arm and a leg for the damn block.
