Actually my statement was based on experience as well as common sense. I have run waterblocks all nite with just a pump and no radiator and there is a noticeable amount of heat in the water after some time. On the other hand, by running the same test setup with a radiator, the difference between water temps. and ambient is not even noticeable.
Like I said, a good radiator makes this whole debate really a moot point. Unless you are approaching or at the limits of your radiator, pump heat is nothing to be concerned about.
bigben, I love how you keep your systems updated with the latest technology. I have a clawhammer CPU I will send you when I am done.
