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)

vagueness ??
no, I would say you did not think through the scenario I posed
don't get your panties bunched
several of us here have been at this a long time, I simply do not recognize your 'handle' as a long term, ahem, contributor

perhaps Cathar will share his experiences with his late chiller project

Since87, see what happens when you give Les some slack ?
next he'll be pounding on me, lol
