Ben, I doubt that it's the radiator that's responding poorly to the higher flow. Furthermore, I think that the results in a dual reservoir setup will be far worse than you'd initially think due to the mixing of coolant in such a setup. I still think that it's a pump efficiency issue... yes you've lost your "sweetspot" so to speak, but it lies in pump selection rather than your rad.
pump, rad, they have to be selected together. Wether you pick a rad for a pump, or pick a pump for a rad, it's all the same.

I'm going to call you on what you wrote about that dual res setup. How do you figure that it would be worse? How would the coolant mixing make it "far worse"?

The idea here is to isolate the flow to the rad, from the flow to the WB. This way, the rad can run within its sweet spot, and so can the CPU, as both loops share the same res, so the heat can get out.
