basically the less efficient the rad (at whatever airflow it's getting) is, the higher the temperature of the water will rise to until an equilibrium is reached, when the heat entering the system from the block(s), pump etc equals the heat shed by the rad (higher temperature differential>higher heat shed) your block(s) will cool the cpu to however many degrees over the water temp, so every degree higher the water is will translate into a degree higher CPU temp.
