I've said it before, and I'll say it again, shrouds are NOT optional. Not only does it severely impact performance (due the dead spot in the middle of your fan being pressed against the radiator), but it also makes your radiator fan run MUCH louder because it has to work so much harder. HiProfile is right, 2 rads is a no no without a strong pump. On my first WC setup, I had a high flow trans cooler for my main radiator, then I decided to add a BI Micro to the loop when I put in my GPU block. Big mistake. My poor little Eheim 1048 about had a heart attack, and my temps actually got worse. Of course I attributed it to having added the heat from the GPU. Well one day it occured to me that I wasn't getting much flow in my system, so I pulled the BI Micro. CPU Temps dropped 4C and GPU temps dropped 8C. All because I didn't have pump with enough head pressure to push the water through the loop. And no, two small radiators don't equal one big one. Those micro rads tend to be quite restrictive compared to a regular heater core.
