I hear on the winter/summer oc. It's kind of hard to keep my house at 70F when it is 120F outside! Oh the wonders of living in Phoenix...

Great post Lando. I like trans posted in a thread a wile back where the persons room temp was 90*F, and they were trying to figure out why idle temps were mid 40's.A few others didn't feel the same as me that room temps were playing a major roll in this.
Maybe with a mod stating this fact more people will take ambient temp into consideration. Id like to see this as a sticky personally.

Shouldn't this be an FAQ rather than a thread?

Sounds more like rants & raves to me
 but it's definately an important fact that most people overlook.

Good pointers lando. It's better here as a post, most people don't pay attention to FAQs as much as new threads. Maybe it's the smiley's?

I tried to make this point in a thread once and it didn't come off too well. This is the main reason why many of us have a winter OC and a summer OC... or am I the only one? 
See, in winter my ambient temps were slightly under 20 C and now they're over 30 C. It makes a huge difference in my load temps even on water. I like to think of my OC as being 13 C difference from ambient to load... if I was only in Canada eh during winter
