Can i add airflow fans to other side of radiator which already has high static pressure fans?

I would like to attach a 240mm radiator with high static pressure fans to the front of my case that already has a couple of RGB air flow fans as an intake for a push/pull config. Air flow would go as follows: front of case >  RGB air flow fans as intake > 240mm radiator > high static pressure fans pulling air through radiator into case.

 

Would this affect the function of either sets of fans or increase noise more than just adding two more fans would normally? I'm not expecting better cooling performance than only having the two static pressure radiator fans, I would just like to keep the RGB at the front of the case

Well technically you’d want static pressure fans on front. But as it’s just a 240 thin rad, I doubt it will matter much overall.

At least with the SP120 and AF120, it seems that having the static pressure fan in push and airflow fan in pull is the best performer.
