    I tried turning the fans off and the temps rose to 75C.
    I do have enough room to install 2 fans below the rad. I'll probably just start with 2 though

    For clarification, I meant one layer, two fans (since it's a 2x rad).

    Ah, I got a bit surprised when I read that you thought I should stack 2 fans on top of each other.

    Yeah, I thought that's what it sounded like you thought I was saying...yeah...something like that...anyways... I have actually tried stacking fans like that before, and it doesn't really work very well.

    i haven't seen it resolved, so i'm going to just ask: how long have yo had it set up? is it in sunlight? and, lastly, are there anti algae formulas in it? because its possible, that algae has built up in the block.

    Been running for about 2 weeks with the same water. Been in sunlight roughly 10% of the total time in those 2 weeks. And it's just regular tap water with no additives. Maybe I should drain the loop and fill it with deionized water with some anti-algea in it.

    The temps should otherwise be fine considering I have no dedicated fans for it.

    I think you're right on this. If you do dismantle your loop to swap coolants, however, check your waterblocks and flush out your radiator with hot water, then distilled water, just in case.

    Hi again
    Just a quick update. I bought two Noctua NF-P14 FLX fans and placed them below the rad. My cpu is now at a stable 56C at 100% load. And it's hot in my room

    Once again, thanks for the help guys.
