I'm trying to figure out what radiators are sufficient, assuming the hottest processors out there. I'm asking for some help in pushing this along, because I only know so much, and can only find so much information that I understand, so bear with me and correct me if I'm wrong
Using the data here, a Pentium 950 D (3.4 Ghz Dual Core) consumes 242 Watts.

The Swiftech MCP655 12v DC Pump consumes 24 Watts

1 watts = 0.86042065 kilocalories / hr (Google.com)
242 + 24 = 266
266 * .86042065 = 228.8718929 KCal/hr
So this means that I need a radiator capable of handling 250 KCal/hr to cool the system? I really feel like I'm missing a whole lot of information, but I have no idea what, Ive been looking through web pages for a couple hours now, and I'm drawing blanks.
The reason for this is that the Black Ice III Extreme is rated for 2445KCal per hour (9702 BTU per hour).
Also, Btu x 0.293 = Watts/hr
Therefore 9702 * .293 = 2842.686 Watts
Under what conditions can the BIX3 work like this? It seems like it would be overkill. MAJOR overkill.
Is there anybody who has done testing to find out what the real life application of a BIX3 yields? For it to dissipate that much heat, they must be running near boiling water through it? What fans are they using? Is it mounted to the front of a rocket?
I also understand that overclocking components increases the heat output, does anybody know of a way to tell how much the heat output will rise?
I feel really lost and I was hoping there was somebody out there that could help straighten my reasoning out
