Push pull fan with controller?

Enermax Twister Pressure

Lap the CPU to 2000 grit and you will get lower TD between cores and overall.

Is that worth it, when you can buy a new IHS for like $20?

In chosing the fans i have go for the one with highest Static Pressure

Enermax Twister Pressure High-Performance Fan: static pressure of 1,709 mm-H₂O
Noctua NF-F12 Indu. 3000 PWM: static pressure of 7,63 mm H₂O

As cooling paste i will use Gelid GC-Extreme

Lapping the cpu is still a step to far for me..

Found a nice test with a Enermax Twister D.F. Pressure : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ELKu3qQ5Bc

2000RPM 81,7CFM 24dB 2,858 mm H₂O for 16,90Euro is also a very nice fan with a good Static pressure and even silent!
So yes..this one in push-pull configuration is something to think about..
