Hey Guys,
Something i noticed recently....
Regarding the FrostyTech review, go back to their original ThermoEngine review on 4/12/01. The rise over ambient is 22.6C.
Zoom to today's comparison. The rise over ambient of the hollow core is now 29.2C. The ambient temperature rise is only 4C, but the rise over ambient should remain the same... especially in an open-air test enviroment like the one they use. Very weird indeed.
If you go by the old review versus this one, the change from hollow to solid core is some 9C. I also e-mailed him regarding the delta 38CFM fan, and he said they matched, something I also find fishy since with the YS Tech fan(a more powerful than stock fan), the difference between Hollow and Solid Core grew.
Regarding the ThermoSonic documents that are going around, discussing the difference in performance of solid core versus hollow core(e-mail me if you want a forward of the original e-mail from them to me) IS dated 12/15/00, a full 2 months before the first review units were sent out. I'm surprised that none of hte review sites have picked up on this yet....
So, not only was the production change well known to thermosonic 5 months ago, they still sent out hollow-core heatsinks 3 months ago to reviewers.........
Again, fell free to e-mail me for the forward of the thermosonic documents(I got them straight from thermosonic). The only problem is that the attachment is 4MB.
