I keep looking for a curve, as the higher temps would allow for a higher secondary heat loss, but it's not visible (duh!).

Re neoprene. It is currently insulated with some stick on foam rubber tape. I am intending to use neoprene for the next round of tests. I presume you don't mean as a TIM?
Re looking for a curve for secondary losses, I was too, but I am realising that in this data, (T plotted vs W) the secondary path losses/gains will not manifest themselves as a curve but as a different slope. I believe they are the source of most of the noise.
The problem is to isolate them.

the CPU Diode temp is effected by secondary mb cooling

The reason I think this is not relevant is also related to this. Although the CPU diode is affected, so are all the other sensors in the path to the water, thus the overall affect of second paths is simply to adjust the gradient. If I had kept the water temp stable for these measurements I believe that there would be less noise and no chance of quantifying the losses.
Bed-time for me now.
Re checks, your "simple sums" are perfect, more chance of spotting me "being stupid". Which I might add does not occur infrequently.
It is a gorgeous chart isn't it?
bigben2K, are you Swedish by any chance? I'm noting your use of "isolate", common amongst Swedes in this context I have noticed. Now
I'm babbling.
