Just guessing here being a newbie to watercooling but...

The amount of heat generated by your system will remain the same (unless of course you overclock further). Assuming you had decent ventilation before watercooling most of that heat was already exiting the case and increasing your ambient temps already. While your transfer of heat away from the w/c'd components will be more effective it wont be terribly noticable. About the only extra heat you are adding to your system will be the heat from the pump itself which shouldnt really have all that much effect depending on what pump you are using. Assuming you were using a high end/high rpm CPU fan before then there will be very little difference.

I noticed no change in ambient after w/c'ing my rig that was noticable over time of day fluctuations.
