Although nearly 2 years old, the technique not as refined, and our understanding of heat transfer was less advanced it is still instructive.

Thanks for digging up the old link Les.
That experiment I did back then was horribly inaccurate due to the radiators still being attached (even though they were insulated).
I will attempt an estimation of my MD30-RZ wattage, and then another with the CPU running at full load.
At best I figure this method is good for +/- 10% accuracy, and most depends on how accurately one can estimate the thermal capacity of the system. The more water the better though as the thermal capacity of the water will greatly "overshadow" any estimation of thermal capacity of the rest of the loop.
