Your on the right track Gulp. I think what your tried to explain in the first part of your post was depending upon if the water is standing still. In this case the water is constantly being cooled. More heat is going into the water but is also being cooled just as fast by the rad so the block receives an endless supply of cool water. Plus the water is moving fast enough through the block that it doesn't heat up enough than if the water was moving though the block at a slower rate (we're talking awfully slow). Turbulance and velocity just allow more water molecules to absorb more heat. With a 70W heat load and a 6lpm flow rate the water absorbs the same amount of heat in the same given amount of time regardless of how good the block is. The White Water just minipulates the water to it's advantage better than other blocks do. This is just my laymans terms of explaining since Im no PHD in fluid dynamics.
I can't even detect a temperature difference between my inlet and outlet water of my block. If one has a temp difference of 1.5-2C between their water inlet and outlet, they should be nearly running at ambient temps. lol
