Then, Use the mechanical fan with a secondary electric pusher or puller if you have the space.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the aluminum radiators came in two wide rows and not 3 or 4 narrow rows. I believe that only copper/brass radiators have 3 and 4 rows. Every aluminum radiator I have had experience with were all two rows but as wide as a 4 row copper/brass radiator and they cooled better.
