keep going
and . . . . .

so the temps at flow rate X are A and B (coolant and cpu)
what will the temps be at flow rate 2X ?
and at 4X ?

the cpu/coolant gradient (°C/W) will be less; due to 'h' generally speaking;
but this is more than offset by the rise in the coolant temp

all heat exchangers have a limiting function (one side/conditions wrt the other side/conditions),
in this case it is the extraction of the heat from the 'cold' coolant
(do not ask me why it is more difficult to cool than to heat, I do not know - anyone ?)
- just as with liquid/air radiators it is the air side that is limiting
(which is why slowing the coolant down can result in lower temps, though in a 'big' rad such is not perceptible; with two smaller rads in parallel it is quite apparent)

as to the 'real convincing',
apparently you are not aware of the very long history that TEC chillers have in the overclocking world
- with uniformly poor results

my humor, eh ?
this course is called: How Things Work
