The heats losses I think that they are too high in relation to the calculation of the program and I thought, between other things, that I was measuring badly.
Recently I have finished a bank of test whit a...heat die? and I have repeated the test by means of a resistance with a consumption of 41W measuring in water a difference across the block, an average of 0.12ºC and average also flow of 309.6l/h (81.78gal/h), 43.1W.
The reason of commenting all that, it is because I wanted to confirm my information in similar cases comparing power generated by the processor.

An old thread might be relevant for you. I got
49W measuring power using the old fluxblock concept on a Barton 2500.
Your measurement doesn't seem too far out. Cant remember the Thoroughbred specs vs Barton though.
