How to benchmark a Chiller?

Thread Starter 
So I'm constantly running tests on my new chiller and I've been wondering how experienced ppl benchmark and test their designs.

What would you guys recommend for determining how well a chiller works?

I haven't ran a 24 hour prime95 or folding stress test. The most I've done so far is a 3.5 hour folding test which yielded a highest core temp of 60c on my 3770K @ 4.2ghz.

I guess what I'm trying to do is test my design to see if I've made something awesome or mediocre...

Head to home depot my friend! You are looking for a heater element and a dimmer that can support that. Heater elements are often for tiny hot water heaters, and you can normally find a 1000W one. Then you can use a kill-a-watt or similar to read the wattage being used and tada, you can make a beautiful graph of load to temperature smile.gif
