Noctua NF-F12

EK Vardar 120MM

Cosrair SP120

Corsair ML120

 

 

any of these fans will be great.

I have Noctua NF-F12's and they're great. I highly recommend them. They're a bit pricey though so any of the recommendations from @legacy99 will be excellent options as well. I've also heard that Fractal Design Venturi fans are good radiator fans too.

BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 also excellent.

I have another question what would be the best size fittings and tubing to get

There really is no answer to this. It's a matter of preference.

All that really matters is that you get tubing and fittings that are the same size.

 

I went with 1/2" ID 3/4" OD (soft) tubing because I personally wanted to use thick tubing for my first custom loop.

It's easier to bend thicker (soft) tubing without it developing kinks which would restrict flow.

 

But maybe you'll want thinner tubing for a less bulky look. And that's fine.

Just get fittings and tubing that match. The rest is all to taste.

question with the Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360mm rad and Noctua NF-F12 fans. what would be best 

Push or pull. right now i have my AIO as pull h100i

[airdeano]

push or pull above 1000rpm as there is no real thermal difference.

sub-1000rpm the same can be said, but the thermals might be uncomfortable, at that time a push/pull with 600rpm will be quiet and resume the normal temperatures.

 

i replaced my push/pull f12s with rosewill hyperborea fans with a single fan set and quieter and better thermals. higher static pressure at low rpms.
