CM Hyper 212 EVO Push/Pull with Different Fans?

Hey everyone. As the title says, I'm considering adding a second CPU fan to my 212 EVO for a push/pull system (and for the sake of having blue LED lighting in my case to match the color scheme). After looking around, I've settled on a CM JetFlo fan, but before buying, I want to know if having two different fans on the CPU cooler could create issues. I'm worried that having different fans with different levels of air flow may have negative effects on the cooler. If my concerns have any validity, I wont buy the extra fan.

I don't think it's going to cause you any problems persay but the improvement will be minimal at best. The fan that comes with the 212 is pretty decent and powerful. Most a few degrees c. I changed to 2 2400rpm static pressure fans and only saw a few degrees difference and they are very powerful fans

Yeah, I already knew adding an extra fan would produce minimal results. I was really only considering it for its aesthetics.

then by all means!! like starcoaster said, I think i'd put whichever fan has better airflow on the back pulling air out
