Very Low
(D5 Set.1)

Low
(DDC3.2+Top@7.7V)

Medium
(D5 Set.5)

Medium High
(DDC3.2+Top)

High
(2xDDC3.2+Top)

Freaking NUTS!
(3xDDC3.2+Top+D5 Set.5)
I played with some labeling like that, but in my initial implementation, it was too busy.

There were other flaws with that charting too....use of 2nd hand pressure drop data, no idea of the actual wattage of the CPU (I should try your calorimeter/bucket test when I get a chance), and a disambiguation of charted data to "real world" data. I try to include the written table with every (group of) instance(s) of the chart, but I agree I need something in the chart itself.

Glad to see they are still making small but incremental advancing improvements. Thanks for all the insane amount of work I'm sure this took
I kind of already do that...in the full collection of results, I show what temperatures are for core vs. water (what's posted in the first post), core vs. air and for core vs. air (with 1/3rd the radiator ability of mine). Here's a screenshot from my skinneelabs write-up:


And yeah, this has taken a lot of work....I'm dreading the Fuzion V2 and the alphacools (their 3 main blocks use identical bases but some have purported quality issues, so I'm going to test all the bases on all the blocks, so it's really going to be 9 blocks in actuality).

And if you think my 4 pump setup is "Freaking NUTS" then Testbed 3.0 will probably blow your mind
(my Dwyer RMC-144 maxes out at 7GPM, I don't feel like I'm getting money's worth right now )

Anyway, thanks for stopping by Martin, always great to see you around these parts
