Say your air temp is 25C, water temp is 30C. It is impossible for the CPU to be 30C so what is the lowest possible temp that can be attained with a Copper and Aluminum block. There has to be a spot that it can get no cooler. (this is just an example)

It's not all about the block though is it?, it's about lowering that 30C water while still in a 25C ambient as well...
It's a damn good question and I'm sure there IS an answer, meaning yes there is an optimum available transfer for Cu & H20. but I fear it'll be only relevant to a specific scenario, not transferable across different temps and heatloads
... and it still won't tell us how to achieve the best liason, there'll always be block design.
I hope someone scientific/definative can answer this with authority. it's too mind bending for me
