Obviously the more h2o mass the better but In my systems using with a res and without it takes at least 5 minutes at full load to reach max temps.
Now this is using toast wich will run 2c hotter than prime95 and therefore will be much more of a load then any normal aplication you can find or run. This means that any normal apps working out your system will probably not get to max temps faster than 20 or 30 minutes.
Is this enough of a buffer for you? If not then you will probably want your fat area for more h2o mass. Remeber this is max, I whould probably say that under normal operating it would take at least 45min to reach max temps if a costant load is put on the cpu.
