ok adding a dual 120mm heater core with shroud to my current rig..this is to go along with my incoming S-TDX 😀

well my problem is which dual 120s should I do?
dual 55cfm 26db PAPST's
or dual Panaflo L1a (like 68cfm 30db)

I know the PAPST's are gonna be real quiet and the the L1As will be quiet as well...but how much more quiet will both options be over my single 120mm Panaflo M1a (86cfm 35.5db)
Now aside from how loud both paired would be vs my current single solution...how much (if any) of a temp difference will there be between the dual PAPST or dual Panaflo L1As ???
 
a 3 dBa difference won't really matter too much, have you looked into a baybus or 7v molex mod at all though? It could help you get silent without losing much airflow, 13 CFM might make a little difference ya know?
