Testing Methodology and Details -

Temps will be recorded with a Thermocouple under the core epoxied and then "doped" with ASII thermal paste. Redundant readings will be taken but the motherboard probe through motherboard monitor.  Temp readings will be recorded once every 6 seconds.  The reason for once every 6 seconds is because MBM only logs once every .1Min ( 6 seconds). To keep the data sync'd the ExTech thermal probe was set to record at once every 6 seconds also. This lowers the fine detail of the thermal curves slightly but still offers unequaled data acquisition and and display for the readers.

The KT7A I used for the tests was reading a v1.91 Vcore when the Vcore was set to 1.85.  I am going by what I set for the watt load, but if the KT7A and MBM are correct that raises the Watt output to ~98 - 99 Watts.

The testing script will be the Test parameters used to bench each Block. These consist of timing of events, and sequence of events.

Sequence of Events:
Static Flow Load Test:

1. (T+0)Data Logging begins / Test Machine is powered up and left to idle for 5 min. (pre heat - Let the CPU temp stabilize)
2. (T+0:5Min) Testing machine initiates CPU heat load testing for 15 Min. ( Heat Load) First DD5 readings recorded
3. (T+10Min - 30Min) Temp's recorded once every 5 min from the DD5.
4. (T+30:00Min) CPU heat load test ends CPU is left to run at idle for 2 Min. ( Cool Down)
5. (T+32:00Min) Data Logging Ends For Static Flow Load test.

Dynamic Flow Load Test: ( Started right after the Static Test)

1. (T+0) Testing machine initiates CPU heat load to Pre heat for the flow tests.  Preheats for 5 min.
2. (T+5) Max Flow test for 2:00Min
3. (T+7) Flow at ~132 GPH
4. (T+9) Flow at ~64GPH
5. (T+11) Flow at Min Flow  ~41GPH
6. (T+13) End Logging

All Flow values are approx. because each block has different flow rates. These are real flow rates measured with the Flow Meter.  The reason for only 2:00 min per test, is that in all my testing the changes became evident ASAP. The coolant is already preheated, the Radiator is heated.  From tests of 15 min a piece, there was less than 0.2C difference after 2Min and 15Min.

Each block* was tested twice with the same coolant, and radiator, and then tested with alternate fans if needed.  The results from the redundant tests will be averaged.  The tests will be valid as long as the ambient intake air doesn't vary by more then 4DegC for more then 1 min. ( a cold or warm draft wont affect the long term test result, but a continued increase/decrease will.)

7 Temps will be recorded for each Block Test:

1. UnderCore Probe - ExTech Thermometer ( Every 6 seconds)
2. Intake Air into Radiator - ExTech Thermometer ( Every 6 seconds)
3. Intake Air into Radiator - DigiDoc 5 (Every 5 Minutes)
4. Exhaust Air from Radiator - DigiDoc 5 (Every 5 Minutes)
5. Coolant into the Radiator  - DigiDoc 5 (Every 5 Minutes)
6. Coolant from Radiator - DigiDoc 5 (Every 5 Minutes)
7. Motherboard socket thermal probe - MBM ( Every 6 seconds)

*For hardware reasons the Reactor was not tested twice
