A not-so-delicate balance of both. I use a large dual-fan (side-by-side) radiator with the fans at a silent 5V. Keeps the water typically at 3-5C above ambient depending on the CPU load. If I blast the fans at full noise I get 1.2-2C above ambient water-temps, but I only do that if I'm just doing some crazy "overclocked to the limit" benchmark.
