======Part 3======

=====Entries=====
====Entry 1: November 15, 2012====
Today in Discrete we got all of our implemented sort programs check off. Most of the class did not have it completed, but we needed to move on. We also filled out the instructor evaluation papers for Matt.




  * finishing our sort program
  * long project
  
====Entry 2: November 16, 2012====
Today in Data we took a pop knowlege quiz. We also talked more about libraries, and also learned about archives.


  * Libraries, archives

====Entry 3: November 27, 2012====
Today in discrete, we were introduced to some of our end of course experience. Matt went over the content of the questians and then talked a little bit about the GD librairy. We also talked about what the rest of the semester was going to consist of, as far as new material and projects.


  * the EOCE is significant to this course
  * the EOCE is significant because it is our final for the course
  
====Entry 4: November 28, 2012====
Today in Data we were introduced to our end of course experience. We talked about libraries, and binary trees as well. The rest of the classes will be working on the remaining binary tree project and EOCE.


  * EOCE is significant
  * the EOCE is significant because it is the final for data structures

=====Experiment 3=====

====Question====
is a cpu water cooling system significantly better then a typical fan and heat sink system?

====Hypothesis====
based on what i have read, and learned in school, i think that a water cooling system will deffinitly cool the cpu and the over all system by a noticable 
amount.  I am not sure how ever that it will make much of a difference when not putting a large load on the system (i.e. overclocking or gaming).



====Experiment====
Since i over clock my cpu to the max and game often i have done plenty of researce and have decided to purchase a corseair h100 water cooler. I will run a controll test before i install the water cooler and get a temp reading on the cpu. I will then install the water cooler, and run the same test and take another reading.

====Data====
While the cpu was over clocked over 4 GHz and wile playing a graphic intensive game(starcraft 2 ), the cpu was running very hot some times over 65 C.
while under the same senorio with the water cooling the cpu ran around 45 c.

====Analysis====
Based on the data collected:

  * my hypothesis was correct
  * although my hypothesis was correct, the water cooler performed much better wile under a load then i though it would.
  * there might be some shortcomming in my experiment only because the room i was in was much warmer when i ran the second test then it was during the first. even though i dont think that would effect it much at all.
 

====Conclusions====
My feelings are, that if you plan to over clock your cpu and or you do alot of gaming, i would make the investment and buy a water cooler. On the other hand, if you dont do either of those two things then your computer should be perfectly find with the stock cooling.
