Look at what your starting parameters are:
A bucket to measure flow rates
An assumption that every motherboard CPU temperatures are comparable (we HAVE gone over this before, haven't we?) This is patently untrue.
There is no difference in your proposed "testing" and the worthless "Post your CPU temps" threads at every overclocking forum throughout the web.
What can you reliably measure?
Water temperature and air temperature: Sure if you buy a decent device to calibrate everything. There's a reason the $10 Compunurses don't come with tracable certs...
Flow rates? Well maybe if you settle upon a low enough rate and everyone buys a ball valve and is equally adept at "bucket filling". I would kinda point to this as an "unlikely" measurement. Why not make a manometer like Owen Stevens and then use pump's P-Q curve? Would probably be more accurate than your bucket...
CPU power? Another big ****ing unknown. Changing RAM timings, changing FSB, using different motherboards (they all give difft voltage eh?) and using different CPUs to start with. Gonna just blindly assume Radiate is right? It's not.
What you will end up with is super low C/W values because you will overestimate W (radiate is crazy high) and underestimate delta T (by a fair amount most likely).
It sounds to me like you want to do "feel good" crap rather than real testing. That's fine but I wouldn't expect to get it posted as an article on THIS site.
