Quick re-test if you get the chance, remove the case fan (or just disconnect it), and mount the fan on the big shuriken blowing upwards to see if there is a temp and noise difference compared with it blowing down and constantly recirculating the heat within the case.

Even though the vent in the top of the case is less than a third of the size of the fan I suspect that this will make a ~5C improvement for the temp at load and no more than a 0.5SPL difference one way or the other on the noise front, a smaller and less vital difference at idle should also be noticed.

Just a thought.

AFAIK that Viako is an asian-only "game": I don't know for Israel (which however is in - stricto sensu - Asia), but you can't actually buy it in UK.
