I'm about to build a radbox for a BIX3 that I have on order for my first watercooling project. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what type of fans to use?
With the BIX3 being air restrictive, is there anything I can do to obtain adequate airflow without deafeneng myself? Should I use 6 fans in push-pull configuration? Stacked? What sort too: Papst, Nexus, others?
Any suggestions gratefully recieved....
thanks, Nick
PS I'd like to keep it as quiet as I can (yes I know I'd have been better off getting the Pro3 instead but I got a good deal on the X3 and couldn't find anyone in the UK with BIPro3s with 1/2" barbs).
