Informal test results CPU 350 vs Apogee GTZ

[ranker]

It baffles me that some people will pose arguments when they clearly have no idea what they are even talking about or have a grasp of the thermal dynamics of it at all. Let's start with the facts so we can weed out all this nonsense.

1. The 350 is much more restrictive than the GTZ.
2. You will never achieve identical flow rates in any system with these 2 blocks with the same pumping power.
3 Comparing Swiftech to Koolance in terms of testing and data is just trolling and in fact proves general ignorance.
4. If the 350 and the GTZ were both tested at the same flowrate (1GPM for example) it is likely that the 350 would perform better.
5. #4 is a flawed argument even though it may be true. This is because for the 350 and the GTZ to have the same flow rate you would need significantly more pumping power for the 350. This would negate the higher flow rate.

This.

WTF exactly. If this was a test of which block was more restrictive, then what you are saying might make sense. But of course you are not trying to make sense, you are trying to confuse the subject and win points.

The test is which block outperforms the other block in a real world environment. A proper test would be to determine which block performs best under various conditions, so that the consumer can make a choice that best fits the conditions they will use the product under.

Sorry if that makes more sense than you are comfortable with.

Did you just get hit in the head with a heavy object? Because obviously you're failing at reading comprehension. Read Niksuhb's post. Three times if you need time to let it sink in. Nikhsub1's assessment is absolutely correct. There is nothing wrong with the methodology of the given test and is legitimate for real world pumping power. The tests that many others here with exception towards Nikhsub1's and Martin's have so many extraneous variables that aren't even accounted for. Nikhsub1 is unbiased as you can get when it comes towards testing. Hell, he's even railed Swiftech/Gabe a couple of new ones when it came towards their design philosophy. However, he calls a spade a spade and isn't afflicted by much of the fanboyism that runs rampants amongst us.

I just find it interesting that this contradicts the other test run done by Hondacity. I know they are both good blocks, but when the manufacture comes back with tests that are opposite of another test I have to wonder what is going on. I would think that most would question it. The original test done by Hondacity showed the Koolance slightly ahead. I know Naekuh was doing a test run against the EK Supreme, but I am not sure if he has completed it. I even believe Petra did a test run on it too, but I may be wrong on that one. I don't expect CPU blocks to be far apart from each other temp wise, but I take any manufacture's results with a grain of salt. If you really want to impress me, send out a few test blocks to a few members like Naekuh and a few others so they can compare them against what they have. If the majority of the tests show a block beating out the others then to me that's significant and valid. Manufactures are notorious for showing only results in their favor, otherwise why post them.

I'm sorry, but none of the members here except Niksub1 & Martin have any standing nor methodology that matches Gabe/Swiftech's.
