Which fans for my radiator?

Hi everyone :) 

 

I have received a Be Quiet silent loop 240. I have my radiator in the front but want a little more airflow through the radiator and the rest of my pc. 

My question is if I should buy 2 more of the included 120mm silent wing fans, or 4 other, aftermarket fans. What would you guys recommend? And what fans?

 

I would like to run all 4 fans in PWM, but what 4-way splitters are good for that purpose? 

 

Thank you all in advance  :)

The included fans are Pure Wings 2's and adding two more for push/pull wouldn't lower your temps much--maybe 1-2c. Replacing the fans with higher airflow fans would make a bigger difference since the rad is has 14 fpi which is pretty low.

If you're just adding PW2's, a standard fan splitter without external power would be fine.

If u dont give a monkeys about how loud the fans are, then get some Noctua FF-F12 Industrials (~42 db(a) at full tilt). they can go up to 3000 RPM (750 rpm minimum) and have insane pressure and airflow figures.

 

They are roughly £22 each
