water temps are definetely higher, without having reseated the block 5 times, that must mean the block is doing a slightly better job. with 1 bigmomma + 4/3 bigmomma in parallel getting 1°C higher watertemp is an accomplishment.
You can't tell the performance of a waterblock by the water temp. A good and bad waterblock will have the same water temp if they have the same flow rate (provided everything else is the same). Changing the flow rate, due to a more/less resistant block can change the water temp, but it won't mean that the block is performing better or worse. Once equilibrium is reached, all blocks, air or water, will absorb the same amount of heat (on the same system), regardless of how good they are.
