What kind of fans are you using? I'm looking for a budget setup to run all the time. Last resort is to shell out 200+ for a set of nice FAL's that I know fit my radiator nicely.

Wouldn't a second 12 inch fan work side by side. The 240 has one in front of the raditator. Maybe a bigger radiator with 2 stock fans.

I have a Koyo radiator (see sig) but living in Texas a single fan doesn't cut it.

I think I'm gonna break down and get the Flex-a-Lites for the sake of getting a nice fit, nice look, and overall good setup. Only problem I see with them is they pull a large amount of amperage.

Redline Water Wetter... Better heat transfer <--i found this on u/r website. No koyo was listed in your sig. A flex a lite has a dual 12 inch fan set up for the 240. My question is......can 2 stock fans work if your on a budget. THe stock fans might not even be 12 inches, might be 10 inches.

If you look at the picture you will notice the radiator lol.

Yeah kinda contradictory to say $200 fans are "budget" innit... oh well, might have to go that route.
