Cold plate conjugate heat transfer analysis

At steady state the water will take all the heat from the plate and increase the temperature overall.

But, if you want a smartish idiot point of view on this subject, I do not see how a steady flow can take all the heat from the plate, what am I missing? Wouldn’t just some of the heat be transferred? Or is heat flux just a rate of transfer?
