I doubt removing the NB block will increase performance, given that removing the GPU block did nothing. This is an indication that your radiator could cool the water to as near ambient with or without the GPU block. This means either that it is a good radiator, or that your CPU is not putting out much heat.
If you can, replace the GPU block and if you dont want the NB block, remove that. Then you should be all set.
