are these fans okay for this rad

[Damien c]

I will be starting to build a water cooled rig next are nzxt fx140lb fans okay for the Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 420 which will top mounted in a Xigmatek Elysium? This my first water build any help much appreiated,

Thanks

Just to let you know if the rad is 60mm thick then it won't fit inside the case with Push/Pull and you will need to run 1 set of fan's outside of the case.

I had a the Elysium case with a XSPC RX360 rad in the roof with 6x Scythe Kazi Jyuni fan's in Push/Pull with 1 set on the outside and it kept my oc'd 2700K at less than 70c per core when running Prime for 12 hours, with the fan's at 12v (noisy) but with the fan's at 5v they were silent and the cores only went up to around 72c.

What are you planning on cooling?

All so to member all 420 rads dont fit in Elysium. Even if it has holes for fan's it may not have room for end tanks(optical bays are close).

I'd say some Gentle Typhoon AP-15s or Yate Loon low speeds. You want high static pressure and low speed (like 700rpm) for a thick radiator.
