212+ Push/Pull

[alphataru]

Hey guys, I have a Lian Li PC-P50, and just got a CM 212+. I want to do a push/pull setup for my CPU (2600k). Do you guys advise doing it or just using 1 fan, considering I will probably OC to 4.9ghz. Also, if I do configure it into push/pull, should I just buy one more fan, or should I replace the stock fan as well so I can have two identical fans. Lastly, any fan recommendations?

Thanks a lot!

I believe the stock fan is a Coolermaster "Blade Master", and I think it is readily available for purchase. Personally, I'd either get another Blademaster, or two new fans. Not sure how well mismatched fans would work, especially if you want to be able to use PWM speed control.

Mismatched fans work fine. The airflow is already all messed after going through the heatsink. If you find fans you like better than the stock one then sure replace both. You may want to try out the push pull setup with any same size fan you have laying around, You may find the improved cooling not worth the extra noise or that it doesn't improve cooling that much.
