I'm almost getting my TRUE120 and I would like to know what would be the best configuration for fans.

I'm thinking of getting some of those new Thermalright FDB fans (No Yate-loons or Scythe or Noctua fans in South Africa unfortunately). Now, the real question:

1 x 1600RPM 63CFM
1 x 2000RPM 80CFM
2 x 1600RPM 63CFM's push-pull
2 x 2000RPM 80CFM's push-pull

What do you guys think will perform the best at a reasonable sound level? I've heard that the FDB fans are pretty quiet... :confused:

2x1600 rpms push/pull would be best. The extra noise from the 2000 rpm fans wont give you any better performance. I have 4 of these and have tried many fans. My favorite is the 38mm Panaflo meduim speed. They have been around forever, but are still damn good.
