I want to decrease my cpu temps in my case further without increasing the noise, and without compromising the stability of other components. I was thinking about reversing the airflow in the radiator and power supply in order to blow air in from the back to the front. I would like to know if this would work and if it is feasible.

You could cool it down a few degrees if you got a res lol.
As for your idea pulling air into the case would be a good idea because the air doesn't cool down at all when it goes through the radiator (not enough to notice anyway). Don't pull the air from the PS in though make that push air out so there is circulation and you should be good.

Thanks. But wouldn't the air going out of the power supply go back into the radiator if the rad fan pushes air in?
