Not true, If the temperature differential between the water and the ambient air were increased, then more thermal energy would be transferred from the rad than is being transferred into the water from the block.

If thermal energy is transferred more efficiently into the water, then the processor cools down, because a lower temperature differential is required between cpu and water.
