Hmmm interesting, that's true that the water will buffer it, though the pump could cut a degree or three off the CPU in the mean time if that was directly PWM controlled. I do like the idea of it smoothing out though. I assume you can set it to be controlled by (coolant - air) temps rather than just water temps though because otherwise ambients will affect you though?
