A notion of what you were cooling (so we get an idea of how much heat you're trying to shed from the rad) would be useful, too.
My experience is that (at least low noise) fans are more effective at pulling through a heatercore than pushing - and that if a single fan doesn't produce enough pressure, stacking two fans (with a spacer between) on the "pull" side works better (in the sense of lower noise for the same performance) than a push/pull setup.
Also - Cathar may have a better sense of what fans are available to you than those of us in the States or Europe...
The heatercore was ordered from DD. Can I have a acceptable performance with 2 Papst 4414F fans on the "pull" side?
