The problem is pressure and cavitation. The pressure in the watertank is to high (the water wants to go out throw the fillingport). The water temperature (36.9°C) makes the pressure booling point to rise and I get almost constant cavitaiton in the pump (Hydor L30) = noise and less lifetime on the pump.
The differance between no fans on the rad and the fans @ 7 volt is virutal none in sound, however the diffreance in water temperatur is 11 °C. I only get 1-1,5 less temperaure if I run the fans @12 Volt.
Sorry If I went a bit of topic.

EDIT: horrasontaly the delta T = 17°C (amb/water) after 3 h with burn in,
