See, the thing about the heatsink test was to show deficiencies in certain designs.....yeah, some fans may get a lot of airflow, but if the hub is too big or the airflow is concentrated to only certain parts of the HSF due to funky blades, then it may not cool as well as a diffuse pattern of airflow or a small-hubbed fan.

Again, I'll sleep on it.....I may build yet another dedicated rig for this now that I think about it more....lol.
