I'm not certain here, but with some of my limited physics knowledge, it doesn't sound plausible that these changes are occuring so quickly without huge amounts of energy being transferred.

On the other hand, your block does not contain enough copper to buffer the temps as well as some bigger ones, but the changes outlined above still seem quite extreme unless you were flicking the on/off switch on your pump. It's concievable that a sudden increase in cpu utilization could be overloading the waterblock, but that somehow doesn't make sense if the flow is constant.


I dunno about that Asus probe either, but it sounds more consistent than the on die probe.
