Im planning a water cooling loop for my build.
It be in a Corsair 900D case.
So got lots of room for rads.
My question-
How much better is a thick rad vs thinner rad (480-mm quad rad)
I was looking at Alphacool rads.
Was originally planning on an Alphacool Monsta 80-mm thick rad.

-The price is $144 ( 480-mm quad by 80-mm thick

-the price for this is $84 (480-mm quad 30-mm thick
Is the extra thickness much better for the price or is it not worth it.
Or is the extra thickness only helpful if you have it in a push/pull configuration.
Also would it be better to buy 2 of the thin rads instead of one thick rad, only $30 difference.
So instead of putting one thick rad in push/pull. i put 2 thin rads in push.
Would this be a better setup.
Off topic a bit.
What fans would work well with the listed rads?
TY.
If any one got any better ideas please advice.
Sorry wrote this in a rush I apologies for any spelling errors.
