One the bright side; I found some content that stated we should look at how fast the CPU reduces temperatures after a "full load" is removed. IE 100% to idle. The reduction in temperature should be quick if our cooling is effective. I assume that means our cooling is effective.
My 100% load stress testing ran within the approved temperature range; according to AMD. All 8 cores at 100% for an hour. When the load was removed the CPU temperature dropped rapidly therefore I assume, from the best information I have found thus far, the Ultimate 3.0 is actually worth the money.
Still an answer about pump RPMs is needed here.
Does it sense temperature and speed up on demand?
Paying customers want to know.
