Hi I wanted to know if I can do a push pull with both ll120 and ml120 fans. The h150i comes with ml120, but I wanted to use the ll120 to match the RGB for the rest of the case. Is it possible if I can use the ll120 as a push (the part u can see on the inside of the case) and the ml120 as the pull. Also this will be Cooling the i7 13700k CPU. Also this will be top mount as well. any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Nothing is cut in stone so you can really do whatever you want.  Usually with a push/pull setup you would put the push fan down towards the bottom of the case pulling cool air into the case and the exhaust fan up at the top pulling the warm air out.  How you arrange the fans according to the RGB is personal so you can do whatever really works for you.  As long as the CPU cooler is pulling the heat off the CPU the exhaust fan at the top of the case will pull it out.

I think there's some confusion about what you mean. Do you mean both sets of fans on the radiator like this?

If so, you can do it with different fans, but you're not going to see enough of an improvement in temps to really be worth it. If you're trying to get every C you can out of the radiator then it might be worth doing. 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

push/pull in front is so you see the argb in front and see argb inside the case front. most people dont like looking at the fan hub so they may do a weird air flow so they cant see it... but thats a all for looks build then preformace. alot of youtubers do it. push/pull on top is only really good with fans that have argb on the side of em. and again  most will do a exhaust out the top. i guess if the top of the case is viable to you you could do argb fans in top in push pull i guess... the preformace vs cost of doing push pull is not worth it...

So I was trying to do a push pull on the top. the reason why I was thinking this was bc I have extra fans, and wanted to use them all. And thought to turn the radiator into a push pull configuration, if I didn't have any extra fans I would nit do this but I have 3 extra ll120 fans so I thought I would use them. Regarding ur picture yes like that. fans on both bottom and top of the radiator but for my build I was thinking on top of the case rather then front.
