Thanks!

You're only looking at like a 4C max difference between that and the best stuff available.  Honestly, the stuff that coolermaster supplies with their CPU coolers might be better than the Evercool stuff.

Things that bug me (but not enough [normally] to post ) No 453:-

 

"only a few degrees difference"

 

Order of loop ~  "only a few degrees"  (still can't see why that would matter at all).

Quality of thermal paste ~  "only a few degrees"

Diameter of WCing tube ~ "only a few degrees"

adds up after a wee while.

 

And yet in reviews etc cooler A gives (say)90° at full load versus cooler B giving 92°, cooler A is considered to be so much better.

Why does "a few degrees" not matter until deciding A or B.

  Surely deciding between A and B (who perform at the 90 ~ 92 region) should be based on looks/cost/ease of install etc
