If you have high performance pump then it won't freeze too. I used to test on really large ice cubes before I got ss. I mean like 2-4kg ( 4-8 lbs if I'm counting good ) into large bucket and not much water so it won't melt so fast. I was using Hydor 1200 l/m pump. Old and noisy but was good.
Good water cooling has higher thermal capacity than SS so it's for sure better for FX CPUs and some graphics cards. When I was benching FX @1.55V+ then under load I had water on the board. It was constantly above 0*C during any tests and in idle was dropping not much below 0.
I don't think it matters what pump you're using when the ambient is -30°c and pushing the water through a rad.
Bummer E_D I thought you were gonna have some luck with colder temps.
