Fan Orientation Question

I was just wondering if you can have a setup that has fans on both sides of the rad, both PULLING air out of the rad. I think they would each fight for air, and cause turbulence. What are your opinions on this configuration?

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

i dont think that makes sense since there is not much air to "fight" for! :D better do push/pull

Nothing would happen, as in no airflow? If would be worse then even passive cooling.

If you have both fans in pull then there would be air to cool the radiator.

Just do a push pull configuration... It's the best configuration with fans on both sides.

I am not going to be using pull/pull for my rig, I just have random thought pop up in my head sometimes.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Before this thread was posted, i was watching that video, and a spark lit up in my head about the pull/pull.

Would that actually work very well? Besides the dust problem it seems to me it would be close to push pull.

Simple question: Where would the air go when the fans are both in push?

Nowhere. Lol. I guess it would probably just cancel each other out and do nothing.

And there's your answer.:)
