you definitely need some seperation between ur radiator and fan. At least am inch. What I have decided to do is use an old 120mm X 25mm fan and cut out the fan and motor housing, leaving the shell only. I am putting that betwwen my fan and the radiator.
As far as a shrouud... U want cool air in and hot air out w/o mixing w/ case air. Duct to that end and youll have success.
