Whats the best fans to use with a dual 120mm rad for a push pull, and dose more or less cfm's matter. Running two of the Corsair 92cfm that came with the H100 and two Cooler Master Blade Master 76cfm fans, on my Corsair H100 right now. The Corsairs are push (intake) and the Cooler Masters are pull (exhaust)

that should be more than fine.

What would make a difference would be a fan controller, one where you can max the fans out if needed. Noctua as far as I know make some of the highest CFM fans available put those on a controller and thats about as good as it would get for air flow.

well if its running max you may not get much of a temp decrease with a different fan. It would move more air but is it worth the added $$?

keeping in mind it would only cool to room temp anyways.

got the upgrade itch do ya lol

at this point honestly if its not broke dont fix it. Doesn't seem like you got a temp issue with idle and load temps like that and with any added $$ you are not going to make much difference if any unless you go with a cooler that's using refrigerant.

Push pull is best IMO. With these high temps in the summer I just downthrottle the crap out of the CPUs.
