if you are getting too much cooling from the rad,
gaps in the shroud fit-up will let the 'excess' air (flow) bleed off

go to HOMEDEPOT and buy some aluminum tape..it's like a regular duct tape except it's aluminum... u can cut it into thin lines and use them...looks awesome...and good for other uses...it's the same stuff they use to seal the hard drive cover to the base...
