You want the warm water in the rad as LONG as possible to disperse as much heat from the fluid to the rad as possible
But you see, I don't want the water in the rad as long as possible. To put my previous post into a very short sentence... I want the still somewhat warm water in the rad out as soon as possible to get even warmer water back into it.

The warmer the rad is, the more heat it can disperse into the air. The more heat it can disperse into the air, the lower the overall temp of the system will be. I'm not aiming at the lowest water-temp coming out of the rad, I'm aiming at the lowest overall system temp where the heat input from the cpu (and pump if ya wanna be picky) stabalizes with the heat output from the rad.
