Looking for a link

[eobard]

There's a site out there somewhere that lets you plug in the type of chip you're using, the voltage you set it to and the overclock you set it to and as a result will tell you how many watts of heat your cpu will put out under that specific setup. Anyone know the link to that site?

You know, I had that link before I had an array crash. Nuts.

Although I don't think there's a very consistenly accurate way to calculate that out, aside from generous guestimation.

OC Freq*OC voltage^2/(stock freq*stock voltage^2)*stock wattage

Haven't had time to read his voluminious guide to overclocking...aviation is tough on the family life, the social life, and the computing life.

I'm looking for the link so I can pass it off to a friend who's making some poor choices in selecting watercooling components. Having the link would be better than just the equation because (if my memory serves me correctly) the link I'm thinking of has not just the facts but explains the hows and whys of the equations. He should really see the facts on just what kind of heat he has to deal with and what he needs to properly deal with it. He says he's not going to OC much but I still think he needs to take a look at what he's bitten off.

Here's the one I've used before (I don't think it's been updated in a while though):

Thanks, I've passed the link on. Hopefully it'll help him appreciate the magnitude of what he's got to deal with.

This one is alittle more updated, but still not up to date.

I've taken the wind out of his sails after he saw the first link. Hopefully this more updated one won't break his desire entirely.
