Water cooling surface area requirements

Hi guys!

I've seen passive and air cooled surface area requirements but what about water cooling?

If i have a water cooling system that can handle 25 celsius (80F) consistenly, how large should the heatsink be or is it irrelevant because of surrounding ambient temperature?

There's a company based entirely around water cooling. If you want, that is. they are passive and air cooled as well. But the new PCB THEY have coming out is literally the best led #'s I've ever seen.

to answer your question flowrate and water temp are the important factors. your water block really doesnt have to be any bigger than the chip if your water flow is adequate to carry to heat away

Is there a rule of thumb like with air cooling? What kind of flow rate is needed in relation to water temp?
