Thanks either way.
That would be interesting since what you're really measuring in an experiment like that is how efficient your case airflow is... since you can't get cooler than ambient. It takes over 90 minutes per run with the file I'm using (I didn't use the temp data from the first pass though since it only uses about 80 % of the CPUs), and it was actually pretty tedious since I keep coming back to the room to record the temp on the digital thermometer by hand so I could average them. I don't think I'll be repeating this experiment with different case fan speeds, but as it heats up this summer, I'll probably record some higher room temp. results to see if that 1:2 ratio holds true.

Thanks for the interest.
