jeez, finally
peeps, WCing is ALL about air
What they said. The more surface area of the rad that air is moving through and the more CFM through that surface area the cooler your temps will be. Dropping your water temps will in effect drop your CPU temps nearly linearly. I say "nearly" because I don't have good enough temp probes to be able to tell if it is perfectly linear. I would think it would be but I am sure there's plenty I don't add into the equation.

I setup two rads in a loop this last weekend and have been adjusting the CFM's through the rads and the CPU temps seem to rise and fall pretty much the same as the water temp does. Both temps were taken from the same DMM but different TC's. I did half ass calibrate them so I am not to far off.
