and you guys didn't believe me

said it cpl times in here

hehe
I did! Just confirming your findings match my friend's results.
@ user27
Is the warmer ASIC with the cooler VRM the submerged one?
If so a small heatsink on the ASIC also submerged might help lower current.
That's not how evap cooling works; the bath is at 60 degrees and as soon as anything gets above that the liquid boils carrying the heat away. Heat sinks go at the other end of the system to cool the water in the loop.

Yes but..
Surface area is still relevent; greater surface area could boil (or convect) more fluid if there is enough heat to dissipate.
Regardless... Awesome work on this, very cool!
