OCPulse Heatsink Showdown! Comprehensive Air Cooling Roundup

I think what he's saying is that the relative performance of the coolers may change if they were mounted in a case, because they may be designed to take advantage of case airflow. I'm doubt this is true, but you guys are the experts

Well all the experts i talked to agreed that the open air would provide the best results for variables like cases, these are computers, not wind tunnels if it was a wind tunnel then yes the concept would apply but in this case, if your case airflow is bad, you can expect higher temps, if your case airflow is good, you can expect temps similar to the results shown. Thats how that works basically.

I agree, wasn't agreeing with the post, just trying to do my best to clarify it, lol. The way I see it a level playing field and the way you did the review is the way it should be done.
