PA160 with 2x92mm and custom shroud?
Hi,
In my endless speculations of the perfect radiator for my case I now ask how it would be to mount 2x92mm fans on a Thermochill PA160 by a custom shroud?
I know PA160 is "made" to perform with a 120mm fan, but 1x120mm lownoise against 2x92mm lownoise the 92's will move more air through the radiator. 2x92mm will also fit my case better (since they fit between a 3,5" wich I have to partly move/modify to fit the PA160. Can't remove it entirely since it will make the case construction unstable).
My only fear is that because of PA160 is a single pass radiator uncooled water will pass. The radiator is 165mm wide and the fans only 92mm - 36mm "uncovered" fins to each side of the fans and it would proberly take "a lot" under pressure in the shroud to make it suck decently in the wide placed fins.
Anyone have a opinion on this?
A PA160 is priced 120$ without shroud so I'm not just gonna buy it and try.
I attached a picture of how I had in mind to place the fans (the fan size fits the ratio)
