yeah.. well it something other than going - OHH that looks shiny!
thermal conductivity, entropy (i think thats the term - 1st year uni), or some measure of cooling per unit air flow would have been good... but you cant complain really. It is free info.
Yeah the JZA80 rated pretty well in their books.
Bascially they have shown the bastards way of measuring thermal conductivity - being mass vs volume.
The theory goes (AKAIK) the greater mass per unit volume = greater cooling ability,
by the assumption that greater mass means more surface area.
But that doesnt take into consideration other factors such as material, internal design etc etc which have large effects on thermal conductivity other than just mass vs volume.
