    so, here is what i've come up with as a beginning phase, based on your comments and suggestions and also some extensive reading that i've done ( including calling a few experts :P ):
    1. im reducing to a single 360
    2. adding 3 fans, and moving to PushPull configuration

    effectively going to copy this setup : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...led&highlight=
    the reason is, that he got to the temps i want, with the exact setup im going for ( only i got 570SLI and he went 580SLI )
    i guess this is the closest setup to what i have ( although i have a stronger Pump, and the EK 150 Res, but loop structure is the same , and i expect similar results )
    note something interesting --> no fan controller for this guy's setup.

    so unless i find that its completely nonsense, im adding the following :
    -- 3x Scythe Gentle Typhoon ( 1850 RPM ) so i will have total of 6
    -- adding the sunbeamtech fan power splitter ( god knows how long ive been searching for this ) instead of a fan controller, which will be easy upgrade if i ever want to ...

    since the fans are 28dB, its very quiet ( setup tested and presented here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPpD1k1iSVc&NR=1 )
    im going to run that setup and only add fan controller if i ever think i need one, but ive checked and the sound levels in my office are 34dB ( with everything i've got here ) so that will blend in without notice.

    the fan splitter :


    since i already own the 140 Rad, i will add it to the loop if temps on GPU/CPU go beyond 45c on load.

    as before, i do welcome any comment or suggestion that you may have... unfortunatly its not very easy to do for the first time if you wanna hit everything just right.
