Trying to get this design under control, have excess cooling but one component is melting. Hopefully one of you can assist

This was originally a 4-chamber design, I am trying to cut it down to 3 for space reasons.

What can be changed to make this work? I've been tweaking it for a while but always end up with one vent melting no matter what I do.

Here's your problem:

OC Vents draw 36 heat per sec to themselves from the reactor hull, but they only cool 20 heat per sec, meaning they will generate 16 heat per second unless mitigated.

The component vents will cool 4 heat per second to everything they are adjacent to. The problem vent only has three component vents adjacent, by virtue of being on the 'wall'. So it only cools 12 + 20 or 32 heat per second, but generates 36 heat per second. Meaning eventually, it'll overheat.

Well this one doesnt melt but...

It does overheat.

Here you go. The core exchangers next to the throium just doesn't have the cooling that managing to shove a couple extra overclocked vents in.

Whoops, I forgot my cost reduction step. This is ever so slightly cheaper.
