Crappy LED fan brought my GPU temp down to 55 and CPU to 40. Thanks for the pointer...I had always heard that push pull worked best on radiators, but I wanted to go full internal. Guess due to the restrictive nature of the radiator, to get the best possible heat exchange, you need to force a lot of air thru the radiator.
You could get equivalent push pull performance from a single more powerful fan but you might not like the noise. Maybe a 120 to 80 adapter on the outside with an L1A would be good for performance and noise instead of two noiser 80s. Maybe too much sticking off the back? :shrug:
