Ive looked at the Tc site and still are having trouble deciding.. has anyone tested or tried out different cfm fans on pa's? I have low cfm yates on mine currently and even though they do an "ok" job, Im not happy with them. Before I start buying a bajillion different fans to try out.. what is the sweet spot for these rads (noise vs performance). It will be 4 fans on 2 rads I cant fit them in push pull config in this case.

All depends on heatload. There is a sweetspot for a specific heatload at a specific liquid flowrate. There is no "general" sweet spot. As for what fans have been tested on the PA Series core...

Need more info about the watercooling setup, and the rig that it's attached to.

I'm using Panaflo L1A's on a fan controller. They seem to work really well in this config, very quiet, but I can still crank them up when Gaming and put on headphones.
