The PCIe signals for each come from different PCIe root complexes on the SoC (I've never seen a PCIe root complex providing more than 16 lanes), so the only reason their link speeds would be matched would be if a manufacturer took a shortcut in setting up their BIOS. Which is of course possible, but at least on paper these should be individually adjustable like in the Asus BIOS above.
Welcome to the forums! Maximum radiator+fan thickness is 62mm, so push-pull isn't happening. Push-pull setups are generally quite inefficient in terms of space/cooling (a thicker radiator with one set of fans typically performs better compared to the volume needed), so there are very few SFF cases out there supporting them.
Four 12x15 PWM fans with a 280x30mm rad would be push-pull...
Also adding Sliger SM580 and the new SV540 to the list!Welcome to the forums! Maximum radiator+fan thickness is 62mm, so push-pull isn't happening.

There ought to be room for a small pump somewhere, at least in the GPU compartment - standalone DDC pumps are quite compact after all. There's also options like Alphacool's DC-LT pumps if you want even smaller. For pump+block combos you have the Alphacool LT Solo (uses the aforementioned DC-LT pump) that's relatively cheap and widely available, but not very high performance, and custom offerings like the Nouvolo Aquanaut DDC pump-block combo that fits a DDC pump of your choice. There's also a Barrow DDC pump-block combo, though that's quite a bit taller than the Aquanaut.
There are also other cases you might want to consider (either available or upcoming) with 280mm rad support: the Dan C4, Cooler Master NR200, Winter One, Sliger SV590 (360mm) (and likely a bunch more that I can't remember right now).
Edit: got Barrow and Bykski mixed up
I remember someone asking noctua and they said 2x12x15 was more effective static pressure than a single 12x25
That might be, but at the cost of (significantly) more noise. Not only is the NF-A12x15 louder at 1850rpm than the NF-A12x25 is at 2000 rpm, but you'd also have two of x15, adding another ~3dBA of noise. The NF-A12x25 also delivers more pressure (and only slightly less airflow) at 1700rpm (with the included low noise adapter) than the x15, while the x15 loses 1/3rd of its pressure using the LNA. There's also the question of radiator density - most radiators these days are high airflow, low fin density designs, meaning that the increased pressure of two x15s might not get you any actual increase in airflow compared to a single x25.
If you're really concerned with performance, You'd get the 3000 RPM industrial Noctuas. They are comparable noise at lower RPMs, and if needed can obviously be cranked up to push as much heat as your loop can move. It will be quieterthan 2x12x15 at the same performance, and cheaper. Only downside is that their rated minimum RPM is quite high (~800?) although some units get quite lower.
Im doing the same. Was considering the FormD T1 but the RIDICULOUS price + slow communication and shipping turned me off (plus their issues and raising prices now because they had bad production contracts?)
Anyone else noticed this on the site?
Does this mean the cable will be certified?
Aren't the standalone ones at like 60 or so anyway? I'm willing to wait on a riser too
If it’s guaranteed to work I have no issue buying it, gotta buy another mesh panel (if no one trades me) and DP cable lolAnyone else noticed this on the site?
