Ive got a swiftech 220 ultra kit on the way. Im going to cool the cpu, and north bridge. What im wanting to know is can i mount the fans that come with the kit in a push configuration, and put the two scythe ultra kaze 120x38 133.60 cfm fans that i have laying around pulling air on the other side of the rad. Ive also got two 120mm shrouds, and where do you think i should put them, on the 120x38 that will be pulling or on the fans that come with the swiftech 220 kit that are pushing. Thanks for any help.

You can go push pull if you want, sure. Try it without push/pull first, you might be just fine. Set it up for best install and lowest noise. If it works, great if not, easy nuff to add fans.

This should give you the information you need to make an informed decision:
