Just got some numbers on this. I bought a Radioshack Indoor/Outdoor thermometer. I put the outdoor probe into the reservoir. The readout is sitting next to the case. I also tested the water temperature with a Vicks electronic thermometer (for body temperature) Both read exactly the same.

The ambient temperature is 22.8C.
The water temperature is 31.3C.
The CPU temp is 42-43C (switching back and forth)

The difference seems to be around 11.5C difference. Is there any accounting for radiator and pump in this equation? I am using a 140gph/3' head pump and that crappy 80mm Iceberg1 radiator with 1/4" barb.

Forgot to mention....this is at 100% load, since my computer folds all the time. I have a model 680 2200+. Power ratings are 67.9W max and 61.7W typical.

nooo, really Graystar - trust me
you do not understand what you are babbling about

what ever gave YOU the idea you know the CPU's power output ?
and
what ever gave YOU the idea that the presumed CPU power output is the same as the heat input to the wb ?

I will take the luxury of repeating myself: you do not know what you are posting about
and you're getting pissed at people telling you so

this whole CPU power quantification has been discussed at great length
that you are ignoring this issue means you are ignorant of it, or think you know better
- in which case you are foolish also

you may take my word for it,
-> EVERY time you use the word Watt you tell everyone that you do not understand the issue

all you can 'measure' are temps, with whatever accuracy your equipment can achieve
Watts are unknowable to you (indeed, from a CPU, to almost anyone)

you have confused correction with civility ?
