Push/Pull with fans?

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

Hey guys! My RAM is too high profile, so it blocks the use of my dual 120 mm fans. So instead of setting my fans to "push" from the inside, can I mount my fans on the outside of my case and set them to pull?

 

Yeah you can mount it on the outside as long as you can get power to them but there isn't much difference in push pull setups maybe a few degrees.
