One thing that you could try is to remove the front plate of the case and see if the temps changes.

Also, out of curiosity, where and which way have you installed the rad?

What are your temps?
Can you maybe benchmark it and video record the statics or upload it?

Um, is it just me or are the front fans pushing air out from the case? -sure looks like it and if that's the case then I can tell you that that's wrong. You'll need to flip them.

Front/Bottom = suck air in
Back/To = push air out

If all pushes out there's no way for fresh air to get in, as it's now the only way to get air in is trough the cracks and the back which is no where near enough for those specs. Flip the front fans, that should fix it all for you ;)

EDIT - Also having it like that means that the warm air from the PSU gets sucked back in to the machine (trough the back) and then pushed trough the rad. So yeah, not enough fresh air :P

I actually have a case with a window, even got some basic lights but yeah, due to lack of space I have the case on the side of the table so that the window is covered, can't see any lights or internals what so ever xD
