another pic minus the fan showing the synthetic shamios material woven inbetween the copper pins, this material leaches up the water held in the small res and is evaporated by the fan. With my 1.8a at 2.54 1.7v this is only 3 degrees worse at idle than my normal water cooling, and around 7 degrees worse under load.
Compared to the same heatsink "dry", the wet version is around 7 degrees better under load, the dry version reaching 49 degrees (20 degree ambient) and the wet reaching 42 (my "conventional" water cooling get's around 35 at the same ambient)
Note, the 8cm fan is an "average" medium speed fan, not a delta or anything.
