Hey guys, ive been working on a project/experiment and in the process of doing that I came up with some temp readings off of my CPU heatsink that I thought were somewhat interesting. This may be old news to some of you, so I will just give a short overview of what I am talking about.
Over the last two days I have been measuring temps on different parts of my computer as well as the case temp. One thing that I have found is that heat isnt distributed evenly over the heatsink. In fact, the hottest place on the heatsink was no where close to where I thought it would be. There has been differences as big as 8-10 degrees F in sections less than an inch apart. Like I said, this may not be new or even interesting to most of you. If some of you are interested, I will be glad to post my results.
