Putting that pelt thing won't help. First, it has a fan and is very loud so defeats your purpose two fold.

Makes the fan & cardboard tube solution look even sweeter. The airflow will help alot. Try it with a larger slow speed RPM fan.

Second, thing is $300. Not cost effective
====================
Options

Replacing the pump or reducing the number of blocks. The pump is very weak. With the multiple blocks and small tubing, the loop would be very restrictive. You don't need a HDD block and there are passive option. Same with the chipset option as well. Adding an external pump like DDC and removing old pump will help.

Replace kit with better CPU and GPU waterblocks and sell off the old blocks.

Buy another reserator for $130-$200 or a passive trans/oil rad for $40 on ebay
