i have chosen to buy a new rad because of higher temps in the summer(up 5 degrees) i would like to use the Thermaltake Multi-Directional Silent CAT 120mm Fan. the problem is that one side is tapered. i will have to mount one fan pushing air from the bottom and another pulling through the top part because of the rad box. will this pose any problems or lower the efficiency of the rad? BTW, the rad is a Danger Den Black Ice Xtreme II Dual 120mm Radiator, and the fans are rated at 62cfm.

with a BIX, you should probably look into higher CFM fans as the radiator is built for high airflow and high air pressure.

in terms of that drawing you made, it looks fine
