If you’re pumping the hot exhaust air back into the chassis you’re raising the ambient temperature in the cases which reduces the efficiency of the cooler.
Their argument was that said increase was negligible to the overall performance, which people don’t agree with.
It’s really complicated. One of the primary issues is that even testing this meaningfully is neigh impossible. The case used, the number and direction of case fans installed, the processor used, the motherboard used will have significant differences between outcomes. Just because x cooler was 2 degrees cooler than y cooler in this case, absolutely doesn’t mean that x cooler will preform that much better in another setup. Moreover, the difference in between the two is almost menial.
The could spend hundreds of hours on every single unit and still come up with data that would barely be reproducible in the wild.
They’re probably right that there’s no practical difference between coolers above a certain surface area, but if you unapologetically do a half-assed job when you’re already barely generating any usable data points as it is, it leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
They mounted one of the coolers backwards and decided that they did not need to retest because “it would not have meaningfully changed the outcome”
HOLD UP
Is this the video with the famous prototype?
No that is a different video, this was a general air cooler roundup but with a invalidating data point.
How much of an issue is that? I didn’t know coolers had a forwards and a backwards.
