Well the mass or volyme of the water needs to be measured to extrapolate the C/W but that is the total mass of all the water in the system so i can't se how you can produce a WB that works better with more water in the system.

The problem all you WB testers/reviewers are facing is a combination of poor equipment and difficult testingparameters.

What do we need do calculate the C/W which is the common way to compare the performance of different WB.
We need the Power/heat that is injected into the water through the WB and the difference in temp.

Injected power is hard to measure because you don't know the secondary cooling (mobo and air around socket).
Temp is hard to mesure because we can't afford to by calibrated instruments etc.

So we use poor tempmeasurment devices and guestimates the powerinput.

Now tell me. Where does the measurement of the flow make any of those measurements better?

The setup I am proposing here uses the same crappy temp measuremend device but by first calibrates the setup and then make a relative measurement. Any temp offset/unlinearity in the probe will be cancelled out. As a bonus it is possible to extrapolate the exact amount of incected power into the water. And that also tells you how big your secondary heat/power-losses are if you at the same time measures U and I to the SIM.

Why not when it works?
