Im getting the NZXT Switch810...placing orders for fans tonight

Plan was to run a top 360mm with 6 corsair SP120 high performance fans on a controller...with a 240mm on bottom with two Aerocool Shark 120's and 2 Corsair SP120 high perf.

So I was thinking...on the top 360...is it worth it to spend an extra $50 to run push/pull vs just push?

Looking for performance and overclocking here but if the difference is only going to be 2-3c I don't care.

Any help would be great :) thanks.

Well and it might be a little less noisy with push/pull lower RPM for same temps...didn't think of that...ALSO haw many watts will they pull on max RPM...as I will get the NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels and plan on putting up to 3 SP120 per channel..wouldn't really want more than 20-25w on each channel IMO..

Or if anybody knows of a good single 5.25" fan controller in the $25-55 range that has high watts and can control a lot of fans with 3pin Y splitters...plan was to do 3push fans on one, 3 pull fans on another...2push fans on one, 2pull fans on another...leaving me with 1 channel for my two front fans..
