HC's are used for two reasons.. Better design, and they are cheaper.. Im not bashing the made for pc rads, but they just cant put the design time in like the HC manufactuers can. Those companies have much larger budgets for R&D (actually their R&D budget is more than the entire budget of the pc rad companies) so they are able to design more effecient heatercores.
And to asnwer your question about heat disapation, no it is not linear. Anything in life or cooling for 99.9% of the time is not linear... That said, I have no idea how much heat it would dissipate with half the airflow.
