Hello!
Have an Intel Mobo with 3 total fan headers, simply labeled as Rear, CPU & Front; all 4-pin PWM control. I will be using the Cooler Master D92, dual 9cm fans in a push-pull configuration (supplied 4pin joiner cable) aiming directly into the rear 120mm exhaust fan, which is on full (molex connected) speed.
My question: would it benefit me in any way to skip the joiner cable and connect the rear facing (or pulling) fan to the CPU header, and the other (pushing) fan to the header labeled FRONT?
I ask, partly because the front static intake fan (Thermaltake Riing 12) will be on full via a molex connection, leaving the mobo header unused; but also to reduce noise in a mostly DLNA Server PC. The noise comes from the cases open honeycomb see-through side Panel being directly over both the cpu fans (2800 rpm on max).
Does potentially having different push/pull speeds effect the cooling system negatively this way? A friend theorized that the side panel being so close to the top of the cooler, it may create its own negative/positive pressure bubble within the heatsinks fins, instead of providing just ventilation.
