Can i put Corsair LL120 fans on the NZXT Kraken x73?

Duckeee

So ya, just wondering if i can put corsair LL120 on nzxt kraken x73 instead of using the fans that come with it? 

and just a question off topic; is having fans on both sides of the the radiator going in the same flow good?

Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Managing cables might be a bit messy, but if you're willing to put the work in it'll be fine. Having fans on both sides of the radiator is called a Push-Pull configuration. It's usually used in very thick radiators, where a single set of fans won't be able to create enough negative pressure to pull much air all the way through. You might see some performance improvement on an X73, but I wouldn't consider it worth the eye-watering $150 USD price of another 3-pack of LL120s.
