Yes, I too am very curious about what temps you are seeing with a heavy load (Orthos, small FFT) on your system.
I think THIS will do the trick...
Be aware that HDDs dissipate most of their heat through the sides, not the top/bottom.And some recent testing (on very large server systems) has indicated that, so long as temps are within the manufacturer's spec, higher temps result in longer HDD life.
...because I will have a 120mm fan blowing some fresh air on it.
Why would you want a fan blowing on a watercooled component. I think that would be kind of useless.
So what I had in mind now was to add in an extra pump. Just a very small one,
Be aware that all pumps add heat. You'd be better off just replacing the existing Zalman with a larger pump. There are many posts on many watercooling forums about modding the Zalman Reserator.

When you add a pump in series with an existing pump, where in the loop you place it has no effect. Put it anywhere you like.
