Soon I will be putting together a watercooling loop. I am debating whether to get two Noctua
NF-F12's for push or four Corsair SP120 High Performance Editions for push/pull for a 240mm radiator. The two options are very similarly priced. Cooling performance is my top priority,but sound is definitely a concern too. What do you all think?
Thanks in advance

fwiw, i've come to the conclusion push pull fans are not necessarily worth the expense and effort. Take a look at the linked test results, scan down a bit to the Noctua NH-U12S (dual fan) and the NH-U12S right below it - there's not but one degree difference or benefit to the second "pull" fan. I've noticed that similiarly on other mfgr fans with one and dual fan setups, in about 5 other test comparisons

again, fwiw
