Is that the water temp or the processor temp?

Processor temp the upper and lower fans are pushing hot air out you can feel it but I don't have a water temp

Good thing I'm running a triple and a quad (look at the top of the case)

Well I didn't mean you only had a triple, I mean I listed about 600w in load and you are already capable of hitting that depending on the config you throw in.

I still don't think you need a new rad, that would be overkill imo.

EDIT:
If you by chance have a multimeter with a k-type probe, drop it into your res and see what your T-Delta is.

Stick a temp probe in your Res and get a water temp. If the water temp is higher than ambient another Rad will lower temps. It is basic Physics. A radiator is a air/water heat exchanger. If the water flowing through the heat exchanger is hotter than the air flowing through it, then the temperature of the water will decrease by increasing the heat exchanger surface area, which is accomplished by adding another radiator.

Now if you are just blow the hot air from the case though the radiator it might not help at all. The air flowing through the radiator has to be lower than the water temperature flowing through it.

I'd get one of those...it's not as pretty but you can also check voltages with it and experiment ;) Comes with a temp probe, it should measure down to -40c accurately

i can mod the other into my front panel though :(

case is pretty open air but like you said i bet water is within a couple of degrees of ambient it def never gets hot lol
