The following information was provided by Timerlane: Orignally, the intent was to provide proof of something I had noticed before. It was popular opinion at the time, that Head/Arm/Leg cooling, existed, and raised the burn temperature of your AC, and reduced the rate at which the AC took damage from burn, but was not worth as much as core cooling; so earlier, I had attempted to find an equivalent set of cooling parts, that would make an equal burn temperature(I was hoping, perhaps, OVE/NER/RE/GG/ILC would equal MM/003/IKS/ALS/FLUID), using MG/1000(good source of slow, gradual heat)and/or HZL50(good, light source of fast, but not too fast heat), but to no avail.(If you look at the cooling ratings on the previously mentioned Heads, Arms and Legs, they are the the highest, and lowest of their respective classes, not counting weapon arms.)I can only guess I wanted to see how much cooling the Head/Arm/Leg combo was adding to the NER, so I swapped out the IKS for NER, and made the MM/003/NER/ALS/FLUID, took the MG/1000 to both of them, simultaneously, in Split Screen VS, only to find absolutely no difference in either the rate at which both ACs took on MG/1000 heat, or the Output Down or Danger Heat temperatures. So, I finally got around to fully checking out, and confirming, this, and to finding how much AP is saved by the high Emergency Cooing SA77 Radiator, vs the basic SA44 radiator.(Sidenote: Maybe I'll do some comparisons with the CR14 and ICICLE, sometime in the future.) Just like I mentioned before, I used these two setups: Maximum Head/Arm/Leg Cooling Setup: CHD-06-OVE/-/MAH-RE/GG/CLF-D1-ILC/MBT-OX/E9/AOX-X/WS-3/CGP-ROZ/RMR-SA44/CWG-HG-80/KWG-HZL50 OP-S-SCR, OP-E/SCR, Minimum Non-Weapon Arm Head/Arm/Leg Cooling Setup: MHD-MM/003/-/MAM-SS/ALS/MLB-SS/FLUID/MBT-OX/E9/AOX-X/WS-3/CGP-ROZ/RMR-SA44/CWG-HG-80/KWG-HZL50 OP-S-SCR, OP-E/SCR, I compared them, using the same core with both of them, and found the following: OB Cores With MG/1000/HZL50: AC____________OVE/IKS_____003/IKS_____OVE/STO_____003/STO_____OVE/NER_____003/NER Danger Heat_____650_________650_________470_________470_________440_________440__ Output Down_____800_________800_________580_________580_________540_________540__ Pretty self-explanatory, it states the "Danger Heat" and "Output Down"(burn) temperatures, and shows no temperature changes between the High Head/Arm/Leg Cooling AC, and the Low Head/Arm/Leg Cooling AC.

HG-80 Damage AP: Beforehand, I fired 6 HG-80 shots at each AC, allowing it to cool between shots, and wrote down the AP for each shot, so I could find the amount of damage done by the Attack Power, of the ammo itself, without the heat. Burn AP loss: AP lost stat, minus HG-80 Damage AP, or the AP lost purely from the burn. Note that around 70% more AP is lost from burn with SA44, compared to SA77.

Burn AP loss: AP lost stat, minus HG-80 Damage AP, or the AP lost purely from the burn. Note that around 70% more AP is lost from burn with SA44, compared to SA77. It's interesting to note that both GRP and MX/002 lose the same amount of burn damage AP, from 5 HG-80 rounds(and about as much as STO), though the GRP has a higher burn temperature. ORCA burn damage is virtually the same as NER, despite it's extremely low rated in-game stat; though burn temp is a bit lower. So, in conclusion: the Cooling rating on heads, arms, and legs, appears to be completely useless. The core and radiator determine everything significant about cooling, and having a high Emergency Cooling radiator will save you some AP whenever your AC enters Output Down. While the 150-ish AP saved here may not seem impressive, Emergency Cooling knocks your heat down faster once in burn, meaning opponents may not be able to "milk" as much extra damage out of the "burn", by hitting your AC with heating weapons, such as the RF/220, HG-80, HG/100, etc, that can keep your temperature up, and keep you in "burn".
