Well good news.

I finally got the 2.0 PCIe system running and it is now decent for fan noise! (Big thank you to Frank for all the help!).

The temp hangs around 115F now, a big different from the 2.7.

I will replace the fans like Acill said eventually and see if the 2.7 can be made quieter.

It is good to know for everyone that air cooling produces the exact same temperatures as liquid cooling.
