i believe they are right, not 100% though.

i just noticed in ur pic, u have a huge kink in ur WC loop, right near the PCI slot, its almost bent like, 180 degrees, defff gotta fix that.
 
you DEFINATELY need to cut out the center where the rad is bolted, also the exhaust fan in the top.

Also that kink in the hose is BAD!

by the way thanks for the picture (it helps a LOT)
 
the kink in the bottom is the drain line i installed i can post dif pics if needed now i have 2 fans on both rads should there be only one

There is nothing wrong with 2 fans per rad, but if you get rid of the blockage (small holes) 1 fan will work a LOT better than how it is now.

Those little holes punched out block over 50% of the air that is supposed to exit the case. The air backs up and just swirls around building more heat.
