could possibly be higher.

1. Radiator performance is dependent on flow rate. A dumbed down equation for all of us is provided by Bill Adams over on www.overclockers.com, it is.

"Heat Extracted = Btu/hr = 499 x flow rate in gpm (T - Ti)."

2. most hobby/aquarium pumps have very low pressure output (may be wrong word, sorry), and will lose a not insignificant amount of flow when you switch to the WWR block.

Combining these two, I believed that the water would stabilize at a slightly higher temp due to the lower flow rate. How am I wrong?
