Why there is no Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm results on the graphs, that was your latest AIO review before this? Would be nice to see how that compares to this in the same graphs....
EDIT: Is it because you use different CPU's for those 2 reviews? Why still use the 4790K when the 9900K testbench exists and last AIO review was on that?

The datasets differ in-between two reviewers and their respective test platforms and as such cannot be mixed.
The 4790K is still used as the heat signature is roughly the same for most hot running processors, in the 90 Watt marker. Heat is heat, aside from small differences it doesn't matter much what processor you use in that same TDP range.
TDP = thermal design power. 90 Watts TDP tells you the maximum heat a computer chip, in this case a CPU, may use in watts. e.g. a dual-core, quad-core or octa-core at 90 Watts still is 90 Watts of heat output and all would sit under stress at that e.g. 65 Degrees C range depending on cooler. More watts often means better performance, but yes higher temperatures and more power consumption as well.
Why still the 4790K? Throwing away the many dozens of results we've built up over the years would be a waste, and from a thermal design, it makes little difference.

whats the noise level?
so far anything i had that was more powerful than the Lt pump was noticeable (on inaudible rig),
even with foam to decouple.

Good review, doubt ill switch just for the little improvement on pump/tubing.
But chief, you guys mounted the pump wrong. Window need to be pointing up (to top of case).
I know your using a test bench, but ppl will be looking at pics (only) and probably copy what you guys did.
