Hi guys

I have 2 140mm fans mounted externally (Fractal R4) pulling through my Kraken X60 (mounted at the top internally). I don't have enough clearance to mount them in push.

To increase airflow I've grabbed 2 more high airflow for my intakes, but regarding the outtakes should I look for high CFM or Static Pressure when using them in a pull config? Which works best?

I'm thinking high CFM as the static pressure behind the fan isn't pushing against anything?! ;)

Both, the highest static pressure and airflow seem to be the 140mm akasa vipers.
 
Personally I would have all fans blowing in with the fans pulling through the rad as the exhaust

And for rad fans you want highest static pressure regardless of if they are in push or pull.

Ocuk have some golf fans in the clearance tab/Christmas sale which are fantastic fans and cost £3 each
High cfm and huge static pressure.
