Comment Temperature Discussion (Score 1) 262
There is little arguement to be made based on what temperature scale is used. Every temperature on any scale has a 1:1 equivalent on another scale.
The proper means to calculate a percent change in temperature would be to divide the change in operating temperature by the difference between the normal operating temperature and the inactive temperature. The inactive (no power) temperature is the "meaningful" constant everyone seems to be complaining about. "Zero" means little here.
([normal operating temp] - [new operating temp]) / ([normal operating temp] - [offline temp])
What scale you use for the temperatures is completely irrelevant because they divide out.
