I have a 80mm thick 280mm monsta rad from alphacool. I got cheap halfway into the build, so right now there's only 2 Fractal R5 regular 140mm case fans on it. They're mounted on the rad in a push orientation, mounted in the front serving as intakes. They're not even pressure optimized..... just cheap air flow fans......
I also have another super thin 360mm rad on top. Also because I got cheap, it only has two 120mm corsair SP fans. Luckily those are optimized, but the rad is really thin.
So there's only 4 fans in total, 2 in front and 2 on top, even lacking an exhaust fan in the rear.
Although the temps are decent, 5-15 delta, depending on what im doing, but when i use the latest version of prime 95 to stress my 5820k, it shoots up to 90 with 30 seconds and stays there. the cpu is only OC'd to 4.1Ghz.
I'm wondering if the monsta rad is really doing much with the anemic intake fans in the front........ Would it be better if I get noctua nf series fans? which apparently are the king of static pressure fans.
Also, would push pull be necessary? Since the monsta rad is so F*&cking thick.
Thanks
