Radiator with push/pull fans choice

Hello everyone, I have an EK CoolStream SE 360 (Slim Triple) and EK Coolstream 280 on my custom loop. EK recommends that I use their Vardar F3-120s (1850 RPM) and Vardar EVO 140ER BBs (500-2000 RPM), but I want to use Corsair's LL120s and 140s for more of that sweet, sweet RGB. It seems that the LLs would just stifle airflow anyway, so should I just use two LL120s/140s instead of Vardar + LL120/140?

 

Thanks in advance!

Its best when doing push/pull configs to use the same fans on both sides. Reason being is the RPM speeds need to be similar otherwise it can cause the air to get trapped and not actually moved efficiently. If they are at the same RPM, this eliminates this effect.
