Everyone is welcome to call BS on my results. You are all entitled to do so, just please do it in a respectful manner, its only a common courtesy. Thank you Sideroxylon for bringing the overall valitiy of the test to light. Now I may not be perfect, but I did as best as I could to do an unbiased test.

There are 2 things that still vex me.

First. Both core temps peaked around the same time in both tests. Sounds like accurate testing to me. But more importantly, take a look at this chart:


This shows a vertical mounted HK LT block (although optimized) his results look PRETTY SIMILAR to mine. His being just a hair below 69°C with the same stock clocks.

Here is the interesting thing...Look at my results:

My peak temp was 71°C.

Now I may not be perfect, but you saw the crappy setup I made intentianally for this test, and it came within 3°C of skinnee's overall test. Plus it was sitting within .5°C of his overall peak temp when I took the screen shot. Again, I am not perfect, but if I can throw together a test like that, and get the same results with skinnee for the HK block, I think I did ok.
