Good points, I can fit a 480mm, I can afford a 480mm so looks like I'll be getting a 120mmjust kidding, think I'll get a 480mm and be done with it.
The rads are 56mm deep, so they should have good cooling?
I'm using the Cougar Vortex HDB V12HP 120mm fans, they have a very good static pressure rating & they aren't noisy either
How much difference does adding push/pull make to the temps?
Again looooosely . Thicker rads allow slower RPM to be used but do require a bit of static pressure, why most run push/pull with 60+mm ones as can add a quarter of heat watt removal . Technically surface area cools more then thickness 280mm/45mm Vs 360mm/60mm but again that's another mass subject topic .
Thicker rads always look best and if you can run push pull, will allow you to run them slower with better performance . If the rad has High Fin Per Inch then it's worth it, if it's low like alphacools not so much unless you've got their monster 80mm thick rad !!!
Thing with static pressure, need more of it if the fan is in Push mode, if in Pull not so much
if push pull no one cares hahaha
