Providing that everything is mounted correctly, etc.

Thanks for your input.
That doesn't make any sense to me. The CPU heats the Water, the water is cooled by air, most likely air coming from outside the case. The CPU heats a block which heats the water, which is cooled by the ambient, external air.

So the water should be a few degrees above ambient. The CPU will be warmer than the water by an amount determined by the C/W of the WB.

I think, anyway. Does this make sense?
