You can't calculate - the data just isn't there.
What you can do is ask things like "is anybody else cooling 120W? How big a rad are you using? Which one? What kind(s) of fan(s) are you using?" All you're going to do is maybe find someone else who's doing what you want to do (in the radiator and fan dep't) with about the same wattage. All I was saying is that you don't have to find someone who's using the same waterblocks, pump, tubing to get a useful answer...
