With relationship to the blowers are a show, it has a level of noise x pressure amazing

Actually the blower is pretty quiet for the air-flow/pressure it's generating. At the second lowest speed setting it's pushing about as much air through my radiators as 2 x 104CFM Panaflo H1A fans did at full speed, and I can barely hear the blower at all. The 8cm medium speed case fan I have blowing air over the CPU area is the dominating noise in my setup, at least until the CD drive spins up and that is far louder than anything else.
Blower noise is far more tolerable than axial fan noise when pushed up higher. Blower's don't whine like axial fans. Forgive me for going on about the blower, it's just that I'm pretty happy with it after years of never being happy with axial fans. It's the best fan investement I've ever made.
As for the heater-core pictures. The fin area is 22cm x 14cm x 3.2cm
