The fin density may not be high but the sheer thickness necessitates high static pressure fans. If you do it right though, you can have a radiator that performs equivalent to "one size up" (such as a 240 Monsta giving the same performance as a regular 360).
I would not even consider anything less than a 38mm thick fan, and 6mmHg is an absolute minimum. Throw on 4 San-Ace 3000rpm fans with 12-16mmHg and you will see what the rad can do!
