anybody else have a problem keeping an s2 cool with front mount cooler blocking air to and from the rad?

 

Yes, everybody does.

Mine works well though and I have the following.....

GRS Cooler
STANDARD Rad, but recored
82° Thermostat
2 Spal 11" fans

You shouldn't be having problems this time of year regardless, but if the above works for mine, copy it!!

 

Neither do i

 

where do you have your fans?

 

On the front of the rad.
