Push - Pull with different fans on each side?

[warmmilk]

So I'm planning to run a rad in push - pull in my next build, one side will be visible and one side hidden.  So for the hidden side I want to run Noctua fans (which I already own) and for the visible side something a bit prettier (thinking NB eLoop right now).  They'll both be running at a pretty low speed as I'm going for a silent a build as possible.  

 

Is there any reason why this isn't a good idea?  I'm planning on putting them on a 80mm thick Monsta rad, so they'll be pretty far apart...

I think it is not optimal. Why not run it only in pull? It is a very thick rad so it has low fpi which means that adding more fans wont make much of a difference

The Noctua's alone will give great performance. But, I think even adding dissimilar

 

fans for push is only going to help the air flow that little extra bit.

well when i had my Phenom II X4 965 my temps improved when i push pull my Noctua NF A14 PWM with my Cougar Vortex

The plan was to run them at very low rpm, hence push pull.  but I changed my mind on the planned rad setup, no more monsta so I'm gonna go with push only

I use different fans on each side of my rad.  I try to keep the air flow as close as I can.  H110 with 140mm and 120mm.  It just happened that way

It's not recommended but I don't think it would drastically alter performance. You might lose a couple of degrees.

It's fine. I use eLoops in pull and AP-15's in push. I get the same performance as AP-15's in push/pull.

Just make sure the specs are the same.

eLoop B12-3(what I use) 1.99mm/H20 1900rpm

AP-15 1.99mm/H20 1850rpm

No worries.

I thought that eLoop's were bad in pull, they made some sort of buzzing noise or something?

My fan blades don't sag down. That's what the complain was.
