Push/Pull Airflow conifgurations through radiators worth the expense?

Hello there!

I, as of now currently use one of the rather spectacular DeepCool GamerStorm Captain 120 EX liquid water's to thermally cool my CPU, an Intel® Core™ i7-4790. Although an overkill CPU Cooler in terms of thermally cooling my CPU, I still do not feel as if I make full usage of it's cooling potentials.

And so, would it be worth replacing the stock included DeepCool TF120 120mm fan with an EK-Furious Vardar FF5-120 (Situated in a push airflow configuration through the fins of the radiator), followed by a Yate Loon d12sh-12 in a pull airflow configuration across the fins of the radiator?

Yes, I am aware that there may be a potential bottleneck of airflow once the airflow passing through/over the fins of the radiator reaches the Yate Loon, although this personally doesn't worry me much as I suppose it will allow some for the air to have more thermals being dispatched into it since it spends more time near the fins?

Please help! I am on a limited budget of around £40 for the fans and I don't know if I should bother doing anything. Thank you in advance?

Using 2 fans in a push/pull will increase static air pressure which will boost the performance. But you also need to think about where it is pulling air in from, is it pulling in from the inside where there is hot air or the outside.

Hello! Thank you for your reply.

I do plan to have the airflow be pulled from outside of the case, through the rear of my case (A Kolink Refractor). I am aware however that the temperatures within the case are hotter than the surrounding thermally according to my fan controller situated in the 5.26 inch bays located at the front (Thermometer placed dangling near the rear).
