Keep the rig fixed
Same cards, slots, case, work, power, and direction.
Two local CSV files
Compare Run B against Run A after the same watched workload. Both files stay here. A mismatch shows no difference.
Owner comparison. Not shop proof, a safety limit, or proof that one setup caused the change.
Keep the exact cards, slots, case, direction, workload, and power setting. Change only the cooling setup you want to inspect.
No customer name, email, order number, UUID, or serial number. PCI bus ID is not a physical position.
Same cards, slots, case, work, power, and direction.
More ambient drift blocks the comparison.
Power or load drift blocks the difference.
A physical warning ends the comparison.
NVIDIA documents the CSV fields and warns that support can vary. Unsupported or changed output fails closed. Read the NVIDIA reference. See every comparison gate.
