rad/fan set up on new rig

[lunatic6593]

building a new rig, used all in one liquid cooling in past, this is my first custom build, looking to make it quiet. Read the water cooling sticky

rampage v extreme
intel i75960 processor (liquid cooled/ may use a mono block on the board if one becomes available from ek) would like to overclock to 4.0- 4.5 if possible
3x asus strike 980 graphic cards (liquid cooled)
case labs sma8
looking at the hardware labs sr2 rads, 480 x2 and a 240 or I can with one 560 and 480 and 240

1) is push/pull or just push for the fan setup, I know push/pull was the norm back in the day, but know a lot of the rads fpi are low count.
2) fan choice has me stumped, looking and the nb eloop series, not sure witch one to get, nb - blacksilent, or the noctua nf-f12(they have an industrial version, has higher rpm and a low of 450, plus a black color. or nf-p12 all fans will pwm controlled

just not sure , witch way to go , info overload, any help would be greatfull, thanks

That will be one heck of a machine.

You could go push n pull but that is up to you. Get some nice premium rad fans for those new SR2s.

As for fans, the ones I recommend since the AP-15s aren't made anymore are the Noiseblocker eLoops B12s.

yeah is going a runnner, should last me for a while,my current rig now is 6 years old, still works just getting, fans are starting to fail ect ect, just wondering if push/ is worth it, will look harder at the noise blockers, thanks for your reply, should start a log, time is the problem , work is very busy now, not sure when it will let up.

Just make sure you do your research. If you haven't, have a look at our water cooling stickies. That's a tall order with those kind of components and having to do water cooling for the first time. Take your time and be patient. Think ahead.

thanks ,i read the stickies, for the most i understand them, i plan on using acrylic tubing, it can be tricky, buts its an itch i can scratch, love the look, i am in no hurry, i figure this may be done by late spring if i am lucky if not , it is what it is.
