Overspeed,
I mounted the ASUS fan in the picture to the NB radiator, It fits fine and plugs right to the motherboard, see picture. The fan may look like it sitting on the Vid card, but it actually clipped to the radiator. It looks like my radiator temp is running about 3-4C cooler with the fan. You might get better results since the airflow at your radiator is more restricted than mine.
With respect to the NB tempreature. If you look at the from of my rig, there is a blue temp monitoring panel. I use a point thermal probe connected to the panel to monitor LCS temps off the waterblock. I can also use it to point check board components like the NB or the Radiator (which btw was at about 66C for my last test series).
TheYipster - I finished my 3.5GHz stability test. 12 hours Prime95 25.5 small FFTs. Here are the settings: FSB 1555, DRAM 800 (777 adjusted), VCore 0.2250, DRAM 2.10, NB 1.45, FSB Term 25. Mem 4-4-4-13-1T. All other settings to AUTO. Temps: Core 61C, Tmpin0 49C, Tmpin1 60C. See signature for system specs.
I'm configuring for 3.6GHz run, should have some results tomorrow.
I called MSI today to see if they could identify exactly where the two board thermal sensors are located (not the CPU). They had no info, so I put a post on their forum. If you have contact with any MSI engineers - could you ask them.
