I had a 120mm Panaflo lying around waiting for the new case to show up and I had the thought: "I wonder if the radiator could use more air flow?"
Well, the rad is the dinky GoldenCool one that has a 80mm Sunon 39CFM sucking air through it and out the back of the case. So I gaff taped the 120mm to the bottom of the PSU about an inch away from the rad and here are the results:
Pre-120mm: (22C Ambient)
Idle: 39C
Load: 45C
With 120mm (22C amb)
Idle: 29C
Load: 35C
Holy #&$*! And boy do _I_ feel like a moron...
