Actually not my testing but by way of BillA. Bill had forwarded me a very interesting graph once that plotted the thermal junction difference betwen various points using thermal sensors placed at different levels between the heat source and the water coolant.

Roughly speaking it was showing around a 0.08 to 0.10 C/W for the thermal interface junction (when using goop) for a 100mm^2 heat die.
