His problem is not that as his computer is not mounted in anything.

This is a very unclear statement to me... :shrug: I never suggested that his computer wasn't in a case. I said that TOWER cases do NOT permit the AGP cards to properly get rid of heat with stock fan/heatsinks because of their physical orientation.

Also with water, the heat should be getting removed from the card.

Yes, it should be getting removed from the bottom of the card more so than with a fan/heatsink. However, unless your water tempreture is near ambient tempreture, you still have "heat soak" through the board directly opposite of the GPU core.

I'm starting to wonder if his cooler is properly seated.

This is quite possible, mine is only strapped on so I don't expect any high heat removal. That's why I have a small fan on the back of the GPU area. Keeps it near ambient tempreture.

Mine doesn't get hot at all and mine is in a tower case.

Then I suspect your water block is properly mounted and you have a very cool system (near ambient room tempreture) to achieve this. I would suspect that the backside of your GPU area is actually warm, but not hot.
