yes, I'd say the shroud is the problem, that flat configuration will only be cooling the portion of the rad directly in line with the fan, and is otherwise stopping the air flow, especially at speed .... a shroud normally stands off from the rad and tapers out to the fan so it can draw air across the entire rad fin area .... you'd do much better to go with a stock fan
