also remember that in order to dissipate heat to the air (by convection),
there's always a temperature difference between the rad (hotter) and air (cooler).
The rad will always be hotter than ambient temperature if there's a heat source in the loop (in this case, the pump).
Else, will be at ambient temp (basically).
