Should I add another radiator?

I'm afraid that wouldn't fit. The HDD itself would just BARELY fit, any rubber mounts and I'd be squeezing it against the side panel. And the 5.25 bays are gone because of the 360mm radiator, its just the covers.

Another option might be to mount it to the psu with some Velcro and knock up a psu cover, or just make the hdd pretty with some vinyl covering.

yeah but there'd be no way of getting the tubing inside. I'd have to cut new holes, which I don't really want to do. 

This is one of the reasons why i love water cooling, where there is a will there is a way I have used this for a customer once on some generic case he had. You can connect the GPU to this then to the radiator outside then back in your case. No hole drilling.

That's a great thing, I've never seen them before.

A few other companies make them as well but are more expensive and not as easy to find as the Koolance ones. 

 

Hope you get the temperatures you are looking for. Nice tube work by the way.

That is awesome... might look into that.

if you jack the fan speed to 12v, how much does the CPU/GPU temps drop

under load?  this might determine if you are at thermal saturation and only

get nominal temperature drop if adding another radiator (maybe 5-8°, if lucky).

 

or if you have a bit more static pressure fans run them. we are trying to

determine if the system will actually go down under load in temperatures if you

add more something to it. yes, it'll sound horrible, but it might save your money

in the end and find you are are the thermal limit of the system.
