Good news guys. I have reduced my VRM temps by 20 degrees C with my new delta fan:
Heres a comparison with the other cubes that still have the stock fans:
Only problem is that it sounds like a Boeing 747 but i would rather be deaf than having burnt VRMs.
How much CRM for the delta fan? It is used to blow the cold air in right? I thought there is a fan inside the box?
Its 240 CFM.

Also I had to use a 120mm to 140mm fan adapter which also adds thickness. Thats why it looks so bulky in the pic. It blows air into Neptune.
thank you for the reply! do you have any idea how much cpm the stock 120mm fan has?
I typo-ed. The stock fan that comes with the Neptune is a 140mm fan with 122 CFM. This is the stock fan:

just curious, if I keep the stock 140 fan inside the neptune box, and put an extra 140mm fan in the back outside the box to suck the hot air out, how much performance gain I can get? To put an extra 140mm fan should be a much easier DIY option.
