Radiate Update (0 Comments) (link)
 Monday, 18-June-2001  19:11:41 (GMT +10) - by Agg

From the author of this very useful program:

I finally got around to re-writing Radiate with a bunch of new features - for you guys and for your users/readers.

Still has the classic watt calculator, however now has Ambient temp, CPU temp, and C/W sliders.

You can now drag your ambient temp & CPU temp and it'll calculate the C/W ratio - or you can go the other way, drag the C/W ratio and it'll calculate the CPU temp - or drag the Mhz and Voltage and watch the CPU temp change given a fixed C/W value- or drag the Mhz and Voltage and watch the C/W value change given a fixed CPU temp!

It's really slick for doing endless What-If scenarios.

It now has a 'Coolers' database to keep track of all the latest C/W rating for the coolers out there.

The coolest part for you guys is this: the databases are now updated via the web, and you guys can add new coolers to your coolers.dat file (just drag the C/W slider, type a name for the cooler and click 'Add')

Then make your coolers.dat file web-accessible, and tell your users to update their radiate settings to point to the web file - the next time the user clicks "Web Update", viola - they are using your coolers.dat file!

This way everyone can be reading your review of the cooler - and playing a what-if game in Radiate with their processor and the cooler you just reviewed!

Sounds like a lot I know, but the simplicity is still there - I hope you guys have time to check it out, and make a posting to let the users download if you like.

Thanks Fellas! - I hope you enjoy using Radiate as much as I enjoyed writing it - hopefully I can keep adding new features that help us even more in the future.

Cheers,
Kevin Croft


OCAU has a mirror of the new version here. I'll definitely be looking into using this as part of our next cooler roundup.
