What are those dots in your shot? I'm seeing some kind of mesh material to the left of the photo - maybe that's it. Can you mount the rad on the front at all? Also, it might increase GPU temps by a small amount, but not much at all.

My guess is 5 - 8 degrees C. Though I could be completely wrong. The EVGA Hybrid cooler does an excellent job of cooling anyways, so I wouldn't be too worried.

lol that's my Blue Yeti.  No I can't mount it in the front because of the drive cage.

i was using a aio cooled amd 290 in a silverstone sg09 with a hyper 212 evo on the cpu.

 

performance was pretty good considering max temp gpu overclocked 65

 

and my 4670k at 1.28v 4.3ghz was around 60-65 degrees

 

bearing in mine the sg09 has a a massive 180mm fan above it which i turned around to exhaust

the hot air

 

i am sure a case bigger than the sg09 would get better temps
