The modded fascia got my dT air/water to 4C with the fans at 7v.
The fans are held onto the rad (with screws right between the fins), spaced 1" away (those are only 2.5cm thick fans). It's secure but, yeah the duct tape looks like crap. My squeeze bottle res is pretty ghetto too. I'll be putting a cold cathode between the rad and the fascia soon for some bling.
I also swapped the 80mm mosfet and 50mm NB fans for one 92mm@7v. It works well and is quiet.
I've noticed that at Vcores above 1.85, the PSU gets fairly hot with the fan turned down as quiet as I prefer. I've dropped my Vcore/speed to 1.85/2365MHz. The power management on this cheapo Shuttle board is not the greatest.
I'm curious as to what the stronger/louder Swifty pump might get me. 2C cooler perhaps?
