Watercooling/ Fan setup

Hi Guys,

I have a question about fans within my setup which I will building shortly.

I am going to be cooling my CPU and GPU using two 240mm Radiators, one in the front of my 650D and the other in the top.

I am wanting to use Push/ pull on both the radiators and have one single 120mm fan at the back as an exhaust.

1) Am I going fan/ cooling crazy?
2) If I am going to have this many fans, what fan controllers could I use for them? My thought was to have a fan controller with 5/6 channels and run two fans per channel...

Cheers,
Mat

I think having both running push pull is a bit too much..

Maybe you could have the front on push/pull and the top wirh just one set of fans.

Would make a huge amount of difference imo.

I am thinking of using two sp120 for the pull and two af120 for the push. I think that would give me some effective cooling through the Rad.

Your plan is somewhat flawed. It doesn't matter which side of the fan the restriction is.

SP fans are designed for radiators or heatsinks.

AF are designed for low restriction uses such as case fans.
