when you double stack rads does it require a row of fans for each or could you mount them radiator>fans>radiator. the fans would pull thru the first rad and push thru the second rad. assume the fans are Yate Loon D12SM (medium speed 70cfm @ 1650rpm). Thanks.

You might want more fannage then that. maybe rad -> fans -> fans -> rad. Or some stronger fans.
the radiators would be MCR 320 and 220 if that matters.

In my testing, a single bank of fans in the middle did NOT produce good airflow.
I was using the 38mm scythe 2000rpm kaze's. I'm running an extra set of yates on the front of the radiator as well.
*Disclaimer: I refuse to run WC fans over 5v - it's quite possible that at 12v, you could have a much larger amount of airflow (I actually did, but it was prohibitively loud) if you can tolerate the noise*.
