Most thermal analysis alla` intel assume that the air cooled CPU is at 60C and the board at 50C hence secondary heat paths.
you water cooled guys are way cool - different ball game it is just the opposite

Yeah I am just having a hard time adding that into the C/W confusion. The components, I wouldn't think, would run much cooler or warmer per block being the load is somewhat consistant. Seems it would zero itself out. Unless if the CPU was running cooler and more efficent it might make those parts run cooler aswell and add less heat. Thats interesting. If the block has a bigger mass or is wider, it might pick up more heat from those parts. Like the RBX though that is narrower it may be shielded more from those hot parts....
If this is the case then changing mobos out may contaminate the tests being those parts are closer or farther apart depending on the board.... Not what pH wants to hear.
BAH, to much thinking. I am beyond tired. It was a long day at work today...
