Ah yes, indeed!

I should have been more clear: the hydraulic power is not related to how much heat the coolant will absorb, i.e. for a given hydraulic power applied, different blocks will perform differently.

But indeed, this hydraulic power is induced in the coolant, in the form of heat. Relatively small, but should be understood while designing a waterblock.

Big thanks to Since87, for posting an applied example!
