I'm running the rig in my sig and was wondering if I would see any advantage if I added another heater core? Right now I have the heater core outside of my case sitting in front of a regular room fan, so there is plenty of air to go around, would it do me any good to add another heater core?

Thanks

I highly doubt you will, in best case your temps will drop 2-3°C.

My temps right now are 40-42C and case 28C in a room that is around 70F. That is under load. Is this a good temp for water?

you've got a low heat load so i doubt you'd see better temps, unless of course you've got very low flow fans. the way to tell if you need more rad/airflow is by water temperature, or radiator temperature (warm rad = bad).
