Performance We are using Motherboard Monitor v5.04 to measure all temperatures. We are going to compare the performance against the recently reviewed ThermoEngine. My thinking is and has always been that a testing environment is fluid and without comparing items at the same time your comparison is not quite as good as it could be. This is the test bed we are using.
All measurements are in degrees Fahrenheit.
Some will ask why I chose the ThermoEngine. The reason is that I want to test the sink to something that has approximately an equal fan. Pitting this thing against something with a Delta is comparing apples to oranges. Our goal here is to test the heatsinks not the fans. Again, the Copper ORB comes with a thermal interface pad on it.
