Thoughts on water pressure & flow rate...

Okay, I'm curious, is there a common theory that a pump that provides higher water pressure and flow rate will be more efficient at cooling a water block? :shrug:

I've been using my system based on the theory that low pressure and flow rate and large copper block with high internal surface area will allow the water to pick up more heat and carry it away. That, coupled with the larger radiator (trans cooler) that I use, seems to work very well.

Any opinions and or theories? Experiences and real numbers are also a plus.
