bluehaze, the cooling system in your loop does not process in batches, it constantly flows and while if you look at how little amount of heat is absorbed in a block in a given time, you have to take into factor the flow rate...

dunno if this makes sense...

if the loop were to remove temp in batches, then i think the temp of your cpu will spike up and down... also, bigger volume capacity on the blocks would be needed.. no?
No I understand that now because it is a closed loop system the volume of water passing through the rad is directly proportional to the volume of water passing through the blocks so lowering the volume of water through rad while increasing the volume of water through blocks would actually result in less water being cooled and more water being heated.

What I was thinking was that if you had seperate loops you could lower the volume of water passing through the rad thus increasing the volume of air to water.

I don't know though I don't have any education in engineering and only high school science so I am way behind on the learning curve here
