> 1. Since your processor paths have a fixed resistance, increasing the voltage to the core will increase the power and therefore the heat of your processor. If you are having thermal issues with your processor you should reduce the vcore to the minimum level to which it still performs. Note that an undervoltage condition my also increase temps if the amperage is not controlled.

You did all this work to remove this heat from the components, but the radiator will be putting it right back into the air temperature! I’d say your next project would be to move the internal radiator to the outside like you did with the other one. You will see much lower temperatures.

What? I am so confused…it looks to me like the rad is mounted to the external rear of the case via four green anodized standoffs??? :lol
