I think Bill's work makes it pretty clear that JUST the TIM joint C/W is near to 0.1C/W, so temps 3-4C above water don't make much sense. Regarding Asus probe measurements, you can find my comments on how seldom they equate with reality all over the web.
It's a very nice looking block tho. The gap in the center (for socket clip) is sadly in the worst possible spot from a design perspective. Maybe the nozzle will somewhat help tho; get high velocity water right onto baseplate at that point.
