This whole thing about being able to calculate CPU wattage using flow rate and delta T sounds fishy to me. All you are measuring is how much power (thermal) is being transfered to the water. Not the power output of the CPU. What you are seeing must be secondary heat loss.

There could also be problems with the equation.
