[Bundymania User Review] Mora 2 / Mora 3 / Phobya Nova 1080 !

Mora3 temps might be extremely dependent on ambient temps only because such monster rads are overkill for most common cooled pc hardware, so with very low air-to-water deltas such rads bring, ambient fluctuation might differ relatively much higher. Just like with TIM tests on relatively low heat output cpu-s at stock clocks/voltage - if difference between them is less then one degree, slight ambient change might mess all the results.
At the end imho best way would be _controllable_ flat ambient temps, with eg. some kind of conditioner in room, to worry less about temp fluctuation. Or artificially introduce some insane heatdump in test loop, eg. several water heaters or alike, so that delta is brought up high even with such insane rads

Mora3 is far from being an overkill for a normal 24-26C ambient temps. You have to maintain something like 21C constantly for it to become an overkill and to unleash its full potential. For a usual normal room mora3 is only good for looks as it becomes only slightly better than a nice 360rad. I'm talking here about maximum heat output not like connecting a single cpu to mora vs 360 rad. I use the mora3 to cool 3x480gtx and the temps of the graphic cards hit 70C after some time of gaming. But I must add, I use only 2x180 fans to cool it down at half of their speed and the two d5 pumps operate at their absolute minimum capacity. I am silence oriented guy if you haven't guessed yet. If I set up 4 fans put them at their max and increase the waterflow - the max temps would go down to 60C. That's at 26C ambient. If the cpu were connected to the mora it would be maxing at 90C at that moment...
Now what I'm trying to say with all those posts, a message, I'm trying to deliver (lol) - there is nothing big about mora3 unless you can provide very low ambient temps like 21C and below and that is not possible in a normal room without air-conditionning.

I think what Martinm210 is saying is that as long as you are testing rads the ambient does not matter as long as it stays the same. Of course the higher the ambient the higher the temps but that applies to everything. But as long as the ambient stays the same you can compare different radiators by comparing room temperature to water temperature.

Oh that I agree, totally.
