Looking to get the alphacool nexxxos 480mm rad. Probably the thin or medium one, not the monster one.

Which 120mm fans would be the best to use with the rad? Ideally fans that aren't too crazy loud. I can tolerate a bit of noise but I don't want Noctua airplane turbines lol

Also, is it worth it to push pull on such a rad?
 
I always like Arctic P12s, myself. Some of the best value on the market.
Yep I have a few in use. They are good at 800prm. It can't compete at higher rpm and are super loud if you max out the speed.

But for 6 for $30 is amazing.
 
Push-Pull P12s at low speeds can perform better than some more expensive fans in push only configuration.
