I am planning to buy Corsair 760t and would want to put a Swiftech H220x on the top. But the top cover for Corsair 760t does not allow air to pass through the top. So I am planning to put 2 fans on the radiator on the same face of the rad but one pull and the other push. Will it work
 
Solution
A radiator depends on good airflow to function correctly. If you are dead set against removing the top panel, I would suggest you get some small rare earth magnets and some small standoffs and raise the cover 1/2 to 1 inch to permit at least some airflow. I would set the rad fans as exhaust to ensure the airflow is forced out. Make sure you keep an eye on your temps.

I know but removing it every time is a bit of fuss. Also the aesthetics would be not as good.
