Temperatures in relation to flow-rates. Data on several CPU-Blocks

[HESmelaugh]

jcool: I've got to agree with you. Look at the last graph that HESmelaugh posted:


Nearly double the flow rate lost 0.5C. That's only 1/50th, or 0.02%.

I was wondering if it would be neatly exponential. Something like 0.5 deg less every time you double the flow-rates. But while you gain lots of cooling performance doubling a very low flowrate, it looks like it's not even going to be 0.5 for each doubling in higher flowrates... Can't tell for sure, though.

The same people who insist on 600/700/800 lb. ft. of torque and 500/600 hp in a family passenger car, or even station wagon/estate, prefer 0.2 GPM pumps lol How strange this world is.

Yeah, that is kinda weird. But the whole thing doesn't make sense anyway. I always find it amusing, when someone on a (usually German) forum goes: "what's the point in getting a better pump? you hardly get better temperatures at all!". We're talking about liquid cooling PCs, it's not like spendign piles of money to get a nice, shiny liquid-cooling setup in your PC is the most significant thing you can do in your life. It's just for fun. So what, if someone wants flowrates that put the Niagra Falls to shame?

You must try the SANSO PDH-054...

Really? In the shop where I found it, it's rated for 360l/h. The MCP355 is rated for 600l/h... I haven't ever tried the Sanso, though.
