In a nutshell, water travels through the CPU block, absorbs the heat that comes off the CPU and keeps moving through to a radiator, where the heat is then transferred to the air and is blown away like a normal heatsink.

That sticky Friedman posted should have all your answers and will go in a lot more detail than I would be able to.

If you have any questions about the sticky, post them up and we can address them. There is a lot of info in there, as well as a lot of links to more info...so take some time and soak it up.

Thanks and happy reading.
