I recently fitted my pc with watercooling, when i first built it i had 3 x 120mm Yate Loon fans running.
Thought these gave great back preasure, little could be said for the noise (even on a fan controller), so i changed them for 3x 120 Asaka Ambers.
Now i have the opposite where as they are almost quite but give no back preasure.
Can someone please recommened a good fan. That is Quite and also has good back preasure. (as i have the fans set up to draw air from inside the case)

YATE LOON 120mm - D12SL-12

Mod them to 7 volt and they are silent but still move a lot of air.

Thats what i'm using :)

Heat rises, and yet your fans are moving the air downwards, where the heat will just rise into your rad again.

You'll get much better performance if you move your rad, or turn the fans upside down so they are blowing the air up :)

I assume you've got a hole cut in the bottom of your case, so that the rad isn't just resting flush against the case blocking all air from moving through it? And what case fans do you have, other than the one exhaust we can see?
 
Noctua NF-S12 are good case fans but i would not use them on a rad
there is only 3 choices for me
1.YATE LOON 120mm - D12SL-12 @ 7v http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-000-YL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4
2.Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM @7v http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-005-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

just seen your pic...if you have no hole at bottom of case ,your rad is doing VERY LITTLE(sry caps) as no air is passing through it, id just place the rad on its side (so the fans are parallel to the side panel)just to see if temps improve

I heard that these are very quiet and produce good airflow (If you have a dual rad - im not sure if one would be enough (But if it isnt, just get the 2000 one, it's double speed :))
 
Yes i do have a hole in the bottom of the case you the radiator.
I have the fans set up as to blow air through the radiator and not draw it up through the radiator.
I already have 3 of those Yate Loon's and i found them to be loud. Even turned down with a fan controller.
