is that really better than going to air directly? I guess I'd like to see the the numbers - to my way of thinking, it's almost all about the thermal resistance. transferring heat to oil, then to air, means two stages of resistance. using oil would permit a bigger air interface, though I suppose. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
