Slim Push Pull VS Noramal Rad?

[Fluzz]

So, I was planning for a water cooled, quiet, smaller PC, and i have limited space. Is there anyone who knows if a slim rad with Push-Pull would outmatch a regular thik rad with just one set of fans (generally speaking)? I don't have any experience with slim rads and I think im going for the regular one, but the idea struck me and i just wanted to see if there's anyone who has experience or knowledge about this. Thanks in advance (Sorry for my english)

For cooling performance the thicker rad will always win unless it is a low fpi thick rad vs a mega high fpi slim; this assumes you are using decent fans. Silence might be a different issue depending on radiator, with a high FPI you would need to run that single set of fans quite high to get the best out the rad.

thick rad with one set of fans will be better

push/pull isn't a have to thing.. ive done XSPC EX rad and single fan for many
builds, if thats what the case space dictates. sure 60m fatties and 600-800rpm fans
would be noice, but what the case and hardware askes for is pretty much a given.

i found runing fans in pull works well and wen you get that dust build up its easy to clean as you dont need to pull any fans off

there are such things as rad filters.. so to combat the dust that may accumulate.
if you do have internal dust, then either you have to get filters (or better filters)
or change some fans around to create a tick of positive pressure.
