Radiators generally benefit from a higher flow rate just as waterblocks do, since they both transfer heat through convection. Of course, remember that radiators are usually limited by the air to metal convection, and that forcing more air over the fins will likely improve things more than an increase in coolant flow. If you'd like more information on this topic you should poke around some of the old threads, as this has been discussed many times before.
Ummm well it sounds like we agree more than disagree.......ie both our statements regarding metal to air convection and more fan........ But I have to disagree......solely because common sense tells me it takes time to convect this heat into the air and the only way you will enhance that procedure is either by increasing the air flow or letting the coolant hang around longer.....
