Well I finaly got my computer up and running after I replaced the bios

I thin put a off and on switch on my 131cfm 120mm fan that goes on my radiator as well as a radio shack fan I got on

well first I was only going to turn off the 131cfm fan when Im idling but I relized that my temps stayed the same with the fan off or on=/

I guess I maxed out my radiator with one radio shack fan

I think the only way for me to get better temps is if they come out with a better maze waterblock

I think there is a 1-2c difference with the fan off or on so I leave it on still when Im gaming but now I can turn it off when Im not on my computer
if I new I wasnt going to get much better temps I would of just got a good sunon=/

Do you have the fans pushing air through the radiator or pulling air through it? I found I had better results when I set up(via some coat hangers and aluminum foil) about a 1.5 inch spacing and let the fans pull air... It managed to drop my temps by a few degrees.
