I am thinking about getting a NZXT X61 280mm water cooler. I would put it in the front of the case (S340) which would fit it. Is it okay if I basically have the radiator directly mounted at the intake and then the Fans as pull configuration? Is that gonna work out? Normally when you get the rad its in push config, so i wondered if pull will give me a decent performance? What would you say about it?

 

thanks in advance!

If you get fans that can pull, it should be fine.

I'm sorry what? fans that pull?

 

Alternatively just turn the fans around :D

Fans can be designed to pull air, suck air, high airflow and whatnot. So yea.

if you turn a high SP fan around, it still pulls air, it still needs to create a negative pressure around the inlet in order to force out the rear. I've had fans pulling with no issues what so ever.
