You see, thats the part of that thread I don't agree 100% with.

I can't get into specific numbers so much, but I think that virtually all of the heat that the pump puts into the liquid is transfered from the motor/pump housing getting hot. As good of a insulator as our tubing is, I'd bet that the tubing and block can radiate off as much heat as the friction of the water puts in, leaving the rad to deal with heat from the motor and CPU.

They give examples in that thread of pumps running overnight with all the fans off, and the water being hot in the morning. My system does this too - water-temp in the morning usually being in the high 30's, low 40's. You ever put a temp-probe on the pump itself? My pump in the morning after running like that is usually around 55 - with my coolant running through something that hot it doesn't suprize me at all that it warms up over-night.
