So I have an open case (Thermaltake P3) with a 240, 360 and 480 EKWB LC Coolstream radiators running a serial loop with distilled water. And now that winter is here, and the ambient temperature in my den is a bit more stable ~20c, for some reason I feel like my rig isn't cooling as good as is used to. I have my fans set to max out when the coolant temperature hits 31/32 (the fans are all slightly varied but that's pretty much where they all go on).
So two questions:
1) 9 x 120 Silentwing3 fans - while this is enough to keep the system cool (and the next part is going to be subjective, lots of variables here) - but is it overkill? Basically should I expect that all 9 fans have to run at 100% to keep the liquid temps maxing out at 32C?
2) Silentwing3 fans - are there other fans that would be recommended for cooling using a radiator (currently all in push mode) - my original goal (in picking these fans) was the noise factor, and while I understand in an open case I am going to hear them more I was just wondering if there may be newer / better fan options.
