Hi there, can anyone help me out please. I intend to front mount a fractal celcius s36 cooler. The S36 comes boxed with the following fans x 3.

Dynamic x2 gp-12 PWM 500-2000 rpm dc12v 0.2a 120mm.

I want to buy an additional 3 fans to mount on the opposite side of the radiator. However the closest I can find retail is the follow fan spec.

Dynamic x2 GP-12 120mm - 1200 rpm DC 12v 0.18a

This set appears to be a non pwm fan.

Would these be okay to use or would I be better getting the exact same as the ones which come with the cooler.

I have fractal r6 case and z370e rog board so plenty of fan headers and 3 additional PWM headers behind motherboard tray built into the case.

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Basically, as you are aware, all the fans do is move air over the rad fins, carrying away the 'heat'.
Push/pull in that same space does not mean more airflow.

It might be better, it might be no change.
It might be worse, from greater turbulence across the fins, leading to dead spots.

I'd be surprised if you saw more than a couple of degree difference either way.
