Case fan config

Hey there!
Quick (hopefully..) question: I'll be mounting a 240mm aio liquid cooler soon, on the front of my case which has dual 120mm fan mounts (and another 120 at the back, if it matters). The thing is, my case came with pre-installed blue led fans at the front, which i'd like to keep because they look good. So the intake would be led fan push -> radiator -> radiator fan pull. Would this config harm the cooling capabilities in any way? The led fans are pretty "cheap", they even run of molex, while the radiator fans run of pwm from the mobo.

Thanks in advance!

It should actually help with cooling, since there's more air passing through the radiator.

One thing you should know is that heat from the radiator will be pushed inside that case, which will heat up other components by some degree.
There's no way to avoid this unless you can mount it at the top of the case.
