PUSH Pull config on EK-Quantum Surface P360 with Corsair RX120 RGB & QL120 RGB

[AirGuitar]

Good Evening,

I'm building my first water cooled pc, I have built a few pcs before but not water cooled. I have a Phanteks NV7 case and thinking of having the top rad as the EK-Quantum Surface P360 (44mm) with push pull fans.

The bottom fans Corsair QL120s pushing and on top the Corsair RX120s pulling. I'm wondering will this work as the RX120s with it being a static pressure fan and a higher CFM.

Any help, guidance etc appreciated.


Thanks

Ideally you want the same fans on either side. The beauty with running fans in push/pull is you shift a lot of air while running the fans at a slower speed and in doing so end up with a quieter pc.

Should be okay. Even if the radiator used won’t benefit much from push/pull, it will help filling up the top of the case.
Push/pull makes more sense on 60mm+ radiators or the ones with very high fpi.
Using push/pull would only help with noise if originally push OR pull would require the fans to work at high rpm.
I would expect push pull at 700-800rpm to be quieter than push or pull at 1200-1400, depending on the fans.
