My only fear is that because of PA160 is a single pass radiator uncooled water will pass.
The pressure rating of the fan (ie. how many CFM's at what pressure) not the fan size, determines how much air it will push in any given system. It is very po9ssible that the 120 mm fan will push more air through than will 2x92's. You have to look at the fan's specs to know.

If you are going to use the 2x92's why not make a shroud that covers the whole face of the rad?
