Could you get a CPU to ~23° with 0-5°C water? Sure. But why would these guys state their CPU was at 22°C with a room ambient of 21°C and then go on to say, "Yes, you read right."? They are clearly implying that they magically got a CPU temperature 1°C over ambient without a chiller. Oh, but what's this? The very next paragraph goes on to say they are now measuring 32°C with outside air ~5°C.
I believe the point everyone would make is two-fold:
1) Don't make unsubstantiated performance claims like: "To our mutual surprise, this outperformed anything we could have bought for nearly 50% more cost of construction." I say, "Show the proof, and I'll decide if it's really that good."
2) If you *do* claim outrageous performance, at least back it up with some measurements that have a known accuracy range.
