depends on what size rad you already have, but anything over a triple rad on just the CPU won't make any difference. Also with more rads you will need a very high flow pump (D5 Vario).

More cooling isn't always the key to a high OC sometimes further cooling will make no difference. Push/pull on your Rad, active cooling across your chipset and low ambient room temperatures will all help your OC, but not massively so.

two 2000rpm fans wouldn't make much difference, slower fans would be a better idea, Depends what brand rad you have?

thermochill triple,im a bit stuck now

Thermochills are designed for use with slower RPM fans, so push/pull wont helpo that much tbh.
