vaeltaja over at overclockers sent me over here and siad I should ask you guys!!!!

Acually this is for my master's project it's on watercooling and I'm trying to finish up on the intro section with the last of my facts.

"It is generally accepted that water cooling is 20% - 30% more efficient than air cooling."

this is the only quote I could find on the web.

MORE, LOTS , and TONS are not Technical enough for a master project. I was looking for some kind of numbers to throw in there 20-30% sounds to low but that wasn't for water cooling a processor it was for water cooling a frig on a boat .

I though I recalled reading traveling water was 200-300 times more efficient and forced air.

Any one have a good number I can throw in there or know of a source I can look into to get one.

Thanks in advance!
