The thing with water-cooling radiators is that "it's all about air-flow"
However, net air-flow is directly linked to pressure, and quite frankly, axial fans suck for suppling good pressure unless you're prepared to accept the noise that they make.
The way to combat this is one of two approaches:
1) Given the same radiator, increase fan pressure until you increase your air-flow. Problem here is that pressure resistance is proportional to the air-flow squared. It takes a fan that's 4 times as powerful (and probably 4x as noisy) just to push double the air-flow through a fixed radiator size. This is what you've attempted here.
2) Increase the radiator size. This decreases the air-flow resistance, allowing more air to flow.
You would do far better by having two radiators, one for each of your quieter fans, and the cooling provided would exceed what is available by using both fans on a single radiator, as both fans, in push-pull series mode, will at best maybe increase the air-flow by about 40% over a single fan working on the radiator. Problem is that cooling performance is not linear with air-flow, so a 40% increase in air-flow may only correspond to a 20% increase in cooling ability.
Put in two radiators with a single quiet fan on each, and you immediately get near doubling of the cooling capacity of a single fan on a single radiator, probably halving your water temperature rise above ambient (provide the entry/exit of air from the two radiators are totally independent).
Put in four radiators, and, well you get the picture.
Of course, space constraints tends to be the main issue here, which is why I built an external radiator box.
Truth of the matter is, you really need a radiator that's 2-row, about 10"x10" in fin area, and single pass, to achieve radiator bliss of quiet but excellent cooling.
