    I'm measuring the heat load with a wattage measuring thingy that I install in between the socket and the heaters... Damned if I know what that's called in english. ^^

    Hey, is it as results of test difference between room temps and water tems like delta T? I have tested my old rad in my room and my temps are pretty good I think compared with this test as I have Black Ice Pro 3 (thin) triple fan rad. I tested with 3 and 6 fans at 5 (800 rpm), 7 (1200 rpm) and 12 (1800 rpm) volts. I tested fan placement as push, pull and push/pull with 6 fans, with 3 fans best was push and all the way 6 fans on push pul is the best.

    Here is my test and I want to understad is it worth to upgrade to thicker rad or not, looks like not, no big boost if I understand correctly My room temp is ~ 23 degrees and results are water temps mesured after rad. Heat is from Q6600 @ 3800 1.56v, its aprox 235 wats. Sorry, imige is in my native language, but I think its easy to understand, "velk" means pull and "pūš" as pull!

    Kashelz, that's some really good data! Thanks for sharing.

    It's hard to compare this to the above data though, simply because I don't know how much of the processor's heat actually gets dumped in the water.
    How do you come up wit the estimate of 253W? Seems very high for a CPU.
