I messed with the CPU and GPU to make sure everything was setted and move the ram around to different slot trying one stick at a time. Other than that yes.

Howdy, I just upgraded my motherboard and my PC will not post. I was having trouble before the upgrade. I test the power supply with a paper clip and the fan turn so assumed it was the old motherboard. Currently, when I turn on the power and press the start button the CPU fan shutters and the light on the graphic card blink about 2 time a sec. I double check the connection and cables. Is there anything else I can do? I figure it either the PSU or the motherboard. Is there a way to elemenate one or the other before I have to try and RMA something? My spec are below.

Just a thought, instead of measuring the time it takes the water to heat from a starting temperature to an ending temperature, could you instead measure the heat dissipated by a radiator. You could set up a regular water cooling loop (pump, fans, and radiator) and measure the temperature of the water in and out of the radiator. Assuming that the CPU and cooling loop are at equilibrium and the loop is large enough not to bottleneck the heat transfer, wouldn’t the heat being kicked off by the CPU be the sum of the heat in the loop plus the heat kicked off by the radiator. I’m still debating with myself what equations would need to be used. I kind of think it would involve using integrals to find the area under the curve of the temperature of both the loop and regulator. Any thoughts?
