Hello.

I don't know much about computers. I built my first one some months ago and now I need help again. I have a Core i7 4790k processor currently with stock cooler and I think it's time for an upgrade cause I want to overclock a little bit.

I'm gonna buy a Corsair H100i GTX and I also wanna buy 2 extra fans for a push-pull setup. I know there are better fans but I'm getting a Corsair SP120 Twin Pack because it's a lot easier to find them in my region. But here's a little problem: they have a performance edition, a quiet edition and both come in PWM (4-pin?) and non-PWM editions.

Can you help me pick the right ones?
When I install it, should I make it draw air from outside or push air out? My case is a Corsair C70 with 2 front intake fans and 1 rear exhaust fan.

Sorry for my english and thank you in advance.

Push Pull will accomplish nothing except add complexity and create more points of failure and noise. Your temps will remain about the same as no more CFM will be moved through the radiator. Same fans moving the same air at the same speed. It is physics and ya cant cheat physics. Quit believing guys promoting fans.
