Since he doesn't want to buy new blocks, that leaves him the options of changing the pump, rad and fans. My first instinct would be to go to like a 1046, and hack up his Exxos to take 120mm fans on the rad - it appears that it should take 2x120 fine.
Am I missing something, or am I on the right track here?
I don't want to tell him to just ditch everything and discourage him from watercooling, I just wish he had read up more about what was out there before he bought what he had.
Edit: Yes, I realize that this isn't high end like the forum name, but I trust you guys hella more than most other forums.

First question: what koolance system is it? The external or one of the cases?
EDIT: Doh, noticed the exxos part.
One big problem with the case ones is the pumps - two little minis. Replacement would seriously help there.
I took one of the older PC-601s (or something like that) threw in an extra black ice 2 dual 80mm rad but it really didn't help the temps too much. I'm willing to guess the block itself wasn't all that decent and the pump power just wasn't.
