That's a nice find too: good size.

With cores/rads, you have to balance airflow and core size. The smaller the rad, the more airflow you'll need, which is going to end up being noisier.

But in this case, at 22.5" by 23.75" (and 2" thick!), you could easily cool 8 computers, with moderate airflow.

So if you plan to cool only 2 computers, just about any fan will work fine. You should be able to get the water temp within a couple of degrees from ambient, with the above blower.

If you make a final choice on a pump, I can predict "roughly" the CPU temp you'll be getting.
