Can you please answer my question?

Good test. Congratulations. However, it isn't clear to me whether you could or couldn't test it in a closed case. When I look at this picture, I'm not sure you were able to close the side-panel on the P182 case.

Good to see that almost all my arguments from this thread were taken into account, since the result is a MODERN test platform. I hope in the near future more heatsinks will be added to the new testbed (CM Z600 and TR HR-01+ come first to mind), and also that you will forgive burebista for his behavi...

I'll have to set up an i7 system to see what those CPUs really pull at the 2x12V socket. More experiments are in order. The gist of what I am trying to determine: 1) Does C/W of a heatsink/fan stay the same as CPU power is increased? 2) If not, how much more power is needed for C/W to change? Is th...

for the ocz vertex you MUST have the latest firmware if you are planning to use the Grabage Collection software on other os-es than seven. the trim supporting firmware (for seven) is coming soon from what i've heard...

That is a fair point. But if SPCR tests all the coolers on an overclocked 175W CPU, how does it help the rest of us who use 65W CPUs, or even lower-powered ATOMs etc? I think a 95W CPU provides a happy medium, and people can extrapolate the results for their choice CPUs . In fact, there has been a ...

Well, this is my first post although I'm an old member and a true fan of SPCR (I really love the tests regarding power supplies, cases and fans). Hell, it's about time! (starcraft 2 quote) :lol: The reason behind this is that some of my compatriots are trying to make a point, but their manner is som...
