Nope, I'm saying regulating flow has an effect on temps period and i'm also saying that temps raise when you lower flow because in a closed loop system when you lower flow through the radiator you also lower flow through the blocks. That is all i'm saying because that is all I know for sure. I haven't actually tested flow through radiator seperate from the flow through the blocks and that is what I have been trying to figure out all this time.

Anyways I give up, dont feel like arguing anymore...
