Anyway, I was misunderstood. Yes, testing can be done with a gallon or so of water. HOWEVER, when it comes to running the PC for any length of time, if he uses 1/4 of a gallon, the coolant will spend around 5 seconds chilling, and the rest of the time heating up, until it's too warm to do its job, and is never given the resting time to fully chill.

True, but the lesser amount of water could be chilled faster, or the reverse: the greater amount of water will take a lot more time to chill. It will depend on the max temp that the evaporator can reach. Otherwise, the quantity of water does not affect the performance.
See this thread, we're getting to the heart of the matter (for rads anyways)
