Huh? You cannot achieve 0.00 C/W with straight water cooling. Laws of thermodynamics aren't negotiable. Heat won't "flow" unless there is a differential, and a 0.00 C/W is a zero differential boundary.

To reach down to 0.00 C/W or lower, you would have to have active cooling and take the C/W of the whole rather than a particular boundary. Active means Peltier, phase change or other heat pump.

0.0 C/W means that the CPU is at ambient temperature.

Not that compression fittings are bad, mind you. They do reduce the restriction that you normally find at a joint.
