It's actually not good for the fans to have 2 different speeds running on either side of the rad. It can cause 1 fan to speed up past its normal rate which causes it to wear out much faster. I wouldn't recommend it.

You won't see load temps over 60 for your cpu and over 55 for your gpu. Basically, tons better than air.

Quote:Originally Posted by Defoler;13276359 Well it depends on either you want a 140 or 120, and speed of rans. Slow fans, you should consider the RX120. Fast fans the GTX120. Each also have a 140mm brother, but they are a big...

For your cpu block, go with the XSPC Rasa, it performs much better than the one you have up there and is only about $5 more expensive. For your radiator, go with the XSPC RX240 or the HW-Labs SR-1 240, both are better low/mid speed...
