The IC is directly in front of the Rad so this has got to be an issue. Also there has to be atleast 12" of space between the IC and rad.
SHould i run 2 fans? one in front and one in the back? otherwise, i could move the rad closer to the IC and further away from the DP. I guess ill post a pic so you have an idea of how close it is.
I would make a shield but i have no welder. Maybe with the pic i post you can MS paint me an idea of how to do so.

I flushed my system clean, and ran Redlines water wetter and distilled water... NOt 1 instance of an issue since... temp drop of about 15 degrees... ---- works.
Ross uses it and it helped him al;ot so I tried it and thankfully it worked.
DO IT
