Editor’s note: Long time readers may remember that I used to do analytical waterblock testing where I used a custom built waterblock test bench to accurately measure each block’s thermal resistance using a thermal die simulator and a lot of fancy equipment. I also measured the pressure drop versus flow rate for each waterblock like you see above. Well I don’t do that anymore for several reasons. What started out as a challenge and learning experience turned into an obsession that required way more time, money and space than I was willing to keep investing. At about the same time, the incorporation of Integrated Heat Spreaders (IHS) on both Intel and AMD CPUs leveled the playing field considerably. On the test bench I could measure slight differences in performance between waterblocks but when placed on a real-world CPU, the results were virtually the same.
