Having not tested that exact system myself, I can't comment on how accurate your numbers (5 degree drop) might be. But....

A few questions:

How many times did you mount and remove (and retest your temps) the CPU block? If you tested more than once, did you report the exact average? Drop the high and low?

What voltage did you run the fans at?

Why on earth did it take you so long to get the fill/bleed system to work? Have you previously used one and just found this harder?

How well did you clean the cpu surface each time you removed a kit (or just the cpu block) before remounting? What did you clean it with?

What thermal paste were you using? How much was applied (thickness wise) ?

How were the radiators installed? Where was the air path? What was the ambient air temp at the time of testing (for each test.)

How well did it actually work - I don't see a single mention to OCing.

Radiator/Fan wise - did you have the fans in a push or pull configuration? Can we see shots of them installed to see that particulars?

I'm sure there are a few hundred more issues that can affect the reliability of the results (and that the guys here will bring up.)
