"required radiator C/W"
that's gonna be shooting in the dark for sure as the rad C/W varies with both sides' flow rates, heat load, temp differential and I've no doubt missed several

this is why the 'real world' approach is to identify the rad as a limiting factor
-> then oversize the hell out of it (the DIY approach as the LOWEST CPU temp is the goal)

other systems can be designed to provide rather specific performance under defined conditions, in which case the rad and/or wb performance (size, cost) will be downsized to achieve a cost effective solution that is sufficient for the intended task
