**accepted** I won't go into details.

Always good to go on a message board to get such info. Credible, cited sources are so overdone.
I came here at the suggestion of others, more or less to help me find a site / book that has the numbers for moving water.

The paper isn't about engineering and that is why I came here as one of the guys at overclockers suggested. I got my undergrad in cmgt (construction management). Very far cry from engineering I must say.

One of my old committee members (an engineer now retired) has a book that had the numbers of AL, copper so the only one I am really missing is for moving water.

murray13 said: The biggest advantage to WC is it can transfer more heat away from a heat source than air. The problem is what to do with that heat once you get it away from the source.
As for how water cooling works I understand the general theory, transfer heat into a greater surface area that can be removed over greater time by one of several ways.

If someone knows of a book that will have the transfer rate of heat through moving water that would be of great help. I'm not an engineer, never studied that field wasn't bright enough for that. Also I really need it translated into words I can understand.

btw plz stop flaming me if you can't help or don't want to just don't post a reply and I won't have a reason to return to this site.

again thanks in advance for any help.
