So guys, basically I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, with two fans currently attached (see pic, excuse the slightly awful cable management, i'm working on it).
I am also looking to replace the stock fan that came with the cooler, with either a Corsair SP120 or a Noctua NF-F12 (Both PWM versions, also open to suggestions but must be a 120mm fan, preferably PWM). With this, I was wondering, would getting 2 and having them in what i believe is known as a Push-Pull configuration actually improve performance significantly over either a Push or Pull configuration? (I'm going with Push if I only use 1 fan, but afaik it's been proven that there is no difference between the two options of Push and Pull. Also in the image I'm aware that I'm using Push-Pull configuration with a stock fan and a Cooler Master BC 120)
For those wondering, the front and ceiling fans on this are Corsair AF-140s (Intake at front, exhaust at top).
On a side note, I noticed that I only have 1 intake fan, yet 5, yes FIVE, exhaust fans (ok 2 of these are 80mm fans located in the side panels, designed to move hot air away from the HDDs). Which, if any, fans should I convert to intake as opposed to exhaust?
Thanks guys, I know this is a long question, but i wanted to be sure
