Noctua fans on a Cooler Master Nepton 240m

So my CPU wants me to buy it a propper cooler for it, and I think I've decided to go with the Cooler Master Nepton 240m (since my case doesn't support 140mm fans/radiators) and I think I may want push/pull, so I would use the stock fans to push and the Noctua IndustrialPPC NF-F12 fans as pull. But would I need any addiotional/special screws or would it all fit perfectly together? Would the radiator easily have those 4 fans?

Thanks :)

I would not even use the stock fans at all and just use the Noctuas as pull only. The static pressure is so good on the noctuas that the stock fans would only add more noise and barely improve the temps.

I have a 4790k and the Nepton 240m. The stock Nepton 120mm fans are very quiet and have really high static pressure. It's not like other stock AIO fans. These are special. The industrial fans from Noctua are loud btw. (Edit: I'm assuming you are getting the Nepton for its quiet performance)

 

When I had my radiator set up in Push/Pull in my Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, it only dropped Max temps under load by 1-2C. Not worth it. Many other sources, including Linus has seen this on AIO units too. Tried it with 120mm Push/Pull, and 120mm Push/140mm Pull just for fun. Same outcome.

 

The Nepton 240m comes with all the mounting hardware you will need, including push/pull.
