Temp Meter
 

Thinking about dropping a blog/review on overclockers.com and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for other testing that can be done other than cooking?

Here is a link to the review @ techreaction: http://www.techreaction.net/2010/06/...s-inside-a-pc/ I want to use some of this content but also want to change some tests. Ideas please.

I generally play with nothing but air.

Thanks

i was going to suggest uei dt302 but tenma is much much cheaper..ehheheh i think you'll be fine with that thermometer...

Do you have any suggestions as far as more testing that can be done that would be helpful to the average person not using extreme cooling? I hate to just post the same thing in two reviews. Makes me look bad:)

oh..that...

1. use realtemp or coretemp..they log temps...
2. use two thermocouples from the thermometer...one on the ihs(there is some space there)..the other on the side of the ihs/heatsink contact.....

you'll have plenty of data..doing 12 threads if you have a 980x..

remember to measure and include ambient air temps too :)

Thanks I did not think do that:) That would show correlation as a factor, great.

For tests that involve two points of contact and ambient is a factor I use a Tenma 72-8540. It is my meat thermometer and used as a control thermometer as well.

Did you see somewhere in the review where I missed this?

ohhh I totally misinterpreted your post lol im sorry disregard

Not a problem. I am looking for more ways to show this off. I think everyone serious about computers should have some type of thermal testing equipment.

This is what I got for air cooling

I am looking for other types of testing as well.

your testing methodology is unprecedented and amazing in everyway. Repped :)
