To blow or suck!
Hehe...
OK so it pretty well established that sucking through a radiator is more effective than blowing air through one. In addition it is agreed that more fans will produce more air flow. I see when people use 2 fans they always have one on each side of the rad.
My question:
Why not just have both fans sucking through? One right next to the other. I tested this with my ears and hands only. When i stacked 2 80 mm panaflow fans together the flow was nearly doubled and noise gain was inaudible.
Idea is having 2 panaflow 120's both at 5-7 watts sucking ait through a black ice to cool 3 3/8 water blocks. Magdrive3 350.
