Hopefully I can cover all the questions, if I missed yours kindly point me to your post or ask the question again.
Thank you all for viewing and continuing the conversation after the review. The whole reason I entered the testing arena was to provide data to the community and the follow-on discussions that result. It is through the community discussions that my testing will continue to improve, having hundreds of extra eyes over the testing is the best thing I can ask for. Again, thank you all for pointing out the little things.
Now, to the Q/A portion of the program. 
Fluid sensors will be part of the logged temps on the Quad testing. I apologize for not having those ready and available for this test run. However, the stable Ambients (averaged between two sensors) and the Radiator Intake and Exhaust do give an indication as to the heat load being dissipated. I agree it does not clearly point out the Delta T and this would have to be extrapolated from the data collected.
As for pricing and costs, I do not have that information and I cannot even being to speculate, we will all have to wait and see.
The Hydrogen Peroxide bottle...yeah we almost had a little mix-up. My wife had a friend over who had a cut and needed to clean it. Her friend said, "oh you have Hydrogen Peroxide...great". Apparently my wife screamed across the room not to use it. She went and looked at the bottle and realized it wasn't the nanofluid bottle...true story! 
Nikhsub, please note that I am not using Max Core Temp value as the determining factor. Average temps are the important numbers as you pointed out. The text was just a narrative to the graph, Min., Avg. and Max. temps were noted and presented. And yes, fluid temps will be part of the Quad test session.
My response to the hope that 123bob's testing would show a significant difference where the tests I peformed do not show a large margin one way or the other. I do not see how that is really possible unless there was a recipe change to the fluid that 123bob recieved from what I did. His test numbers will be very close to mine, he can even use the same test steps I did. That is why I document and present that information, so others can repeat the same tests and compare data. This is the science part of testing, repeatability.
Stained tubes...I can say that there was no tube staining in the time that nanofluid was running in the loop. I did use roughly half a gallon of distilled to flush the loop after draining to remove all nanofluid before running the distilled tests. This was not a long enough time to actually prove or disprove tube staining though.
The Rad Intake/Exhaust 1,2,3 are temp probes on the intake side and exhaust side of the rad measuring air temperature. I have to add more probes now that I have moved up to a 4 fan rad versus a 3 fan and the inclusion of fluid sensors.
Gloves, I did not wear gloves when handling the fluid. I made sure to wash my hands after filling and draining the loop.
Finally, keep the discussion going. I appreciate all of the little things you all have pointed out and I will try to include all recommendations in further testing.
