Could an RD-20 and 140mm fans lower my temps?

[Smalltimer]

I currently have a DCC Pro and, 120.3 RAD & Storm rev2 setup, I wondered if I replaced my pump with an RD-20 and replaced my 120mm yates with 140mm ones if I would see a cooling performance increase?

As it stands with my opteron 165 overclocked and both cores maxxed it climbs up to 40 - 41c from its 29c idle state.

If your rediator can dissipate the extra heat then yes, if no then no. You can see improvement even if you use 5 MD30's in line as long as your radiator/fans can handle it.

I would say yes.

now if you asked would i see a performance increase worth the extra cash then definately not. I personally think it would be a waste of money. 41 load for watercooling is pretty good m8. If you want colder then get phase or a waterchiller.

or get AC

i get 41 load if im at 35 idle

when im 20 idle i get 30 load..

if im 30 idle, i get 37 load.

so i have about a 6c delta... with the specs in sig...

There is another point to this setup which I should have mentioned.
I want to prepare for the upcoming AMD 4x4 setup and I wondered if an RD 20 was better or worst than say 2 x DCC Pro pumps with two Storm rev2 blocks?
