Simply, I think C/W is not accurate enough to be trusted.

The simple reason for this is: Can you prove to me how many watts of heat is going to the block?? Can you prove to me that "Radiate" is accurate? If you can give me 100% proof that I am putting EXACTLY that many watts of heat to a block, then I will start to use C/W. Till then I think its an irresponsible measure to use on CPU based tests since no one can promise you exactly how much heat is being put through it.
