I'd say it has more to do with heat displacement. Water can absolutely cool your CPU lower than air temp because it moves so much more heat off of it. A good loop though will solve heating problems for core parts (CPU, GPU, NB, SB, and RAM). But you also need to couple it with good fans too. Get the air moving in from the front and ejecting from the back. Keep the side on the case! Also try to keep the rad outside the case too. That was the one thing I never got to do with mine. Also cable management helps promote better airflow and heat distribution.
