Re: what setup moves more air?
Good question. I have (2) 10's and they are alot smaller and I think they really move alot of air. I have installed an additional fan on the other side of the Radiator to assist with any heating issues. So 1 pusher and 2 pullers. Works good so far.

check jegs or summit for fan specs.. some dual 10" setups will flow better than a single 16" and vice versa

Re: what setup moves more air?
It will depend on the fans, but I would think a pair of 10's could match a single 16. With a pair of them, you have the option to bring them on at different temperatures, and only have to run one of them under light loads.

Re: what setup moves more air?
permacool makes good cooling fans with the little pancake style motors, i have a 14" and a 12" one and both are rated at 3000cfm apiece, thats more than some dual fan setups from just 1 fan.

Re: what setup moves more air?
