Default Question about temps in a water cooling system

hey

I have always wondered how does the water keep cool in a watercooling system? Surely the heat from the CPU and GPU will warm up the water??
Im a little confused ???

Well its a circulation system..You have a radiator with fans on and the hot water filters back through the cooled radiator cooler the water again ..and it continues this process.

I'm not a watercooler, but I know how it basicly works:
Cold water travels to the CPU GPU etc
warm water travels to a raditer and is cooled off
cycle continues
