There's not many fans that are rated for more than 148CFMs. There are some 12V Sanyo Denkis that are rated for 300CFMs, but I believe they are hard to find, and I don't want to live w/ 50+dB. I could get a 24v cormair rotron patriate. At 12v I think they are spec out at 160CFM. I was thinking about putting my current fan as a blow hole and getting a patriate for the rad anyways. But that isn't going to add too many CFMs.

And when you say "the airflow seem about right." You're talking about the 70CFMs you came up w/? Or what?

I'll check out the article. I think I started reading it in my newbie days, and it was over my head. I think another factor is, my waterblock is a flow killer. Those channels are 3/8" tall. SHoulda made them shorter.

Couple more things. You don't think a bigger rad is worth the trouble? And which temp probe do you think is more accurate?
