Ice Czar said:my focus is very specialized
I wont be reviewing all sorts of equipment:
mobos, HDD. opticals, software, video cards, periphreals, memory, CPUs ect.
Im strictly PSU\power consumption and integrated thermal solutions
its an "energy" test lab those other components are part of those systems, but Im not proposing doing mobo reviews, I will throw a given config together and benchmark its power and heat profile, information W1zzard can build a database around and other reviewers employ as well, much like Xbit's current power consumption testing has been cited in other reviews (either attributed or not)
when the flowbench is online as is the rest, I'll be especially suited to looking at the thermal performance of a given case and component config, thats not the same as assessing its overclockability or gaming performance at all, Im almost totally unqualified to do something like that.
These are automated suites, and the objective partly is to create services that other reviewers can access for a reasonable fee, that enables me to gain wide access to components to build a data base, I could likely profile power consumption of several mobos a day after I have a basic sysprep OS to work from. If I got a thermal camera the same strategy would apply. For runs in the test chamber with thermocouple placements or on the flow bench thats a review Im doing, for PSU reviews the same Im doing the review. But the more reviewers ship me a HDD or a mobo\CPU or Videocard to do a power assessment of the bigger the database is. Id love to do the same thing with thermal images.
I might negotiate access to the board\CPU they are shipping to me for a power measurement, so I can do a thermal review of my own with it as part of a given config. Or add a particular Videocard into a config for a test run.
These are independent suites and Im very likely to be able to run some of them concurrently.
Reviews are useful in momentarilly highlighting a given product and as a vehicle to educate the consumer.
But databases of comparative quantified data will have far longer utility value and be accessed far more often than any given review.
Why do you think W1zzard has his database's?
Guides to an extent are the same way.
so can i be part of the family then?.................i like familys.....however i havent submitted anything yet id love to be part of the TPU family however i dont want to do news i come here for that id like to be maby a mod but im not entirely sure i have the "attitude" for that maybe? and besides we have enough mods id think being that w1zz didnt ask for any .....sry for the grammer im getting tired and my fingures are slipping and im starting to forget how to spell things
