Therefore if based on above, T1 is the temperature obtained from the black heatsink onto CPU, T2 is the ambient temperature around CPU. So if T14-T24 is a positive value, we know black is the best heat dissipation transistor since there is no thermal source around CPU inside PC case.
Ahh, I didnt understand the last part of the formula since it had to be translated onto type, but I understand what it means and can see how it would effect it
Move to Alaska? No thanks...its not worth the extra ~$1000 or so you get bonus every year for tollerating it.
MUCH less cars and car choices, cold even in the summer, and empty as FUCK. I suppose you could get cars exported from Japan to Canada and import them from there (R33s, JZA70s, Turbo Eh?s, etc.) but up there, all I'd pick is Evo for AWD
Also, I know that about igloos...still weird how it can get like 60*+ inside them...
Oh yeah, speaking of intercoolers
