Hello hello,
I am awaiting a new H110 and I was thinking about setting it up in push pull config.
I was thinking about removing the fans it comes with and using 4

in a push pull set up. Would this work? I think these are the correct fans as they will run off the Mobo header and speeds will be controlled by the motherboard? (im no expert here)
Also, screws, I think I am going to need additional screws. I do not know what to use there at all.
Would someone be able to advise me with this as I dont want to mess it up.
THX in advance.
 
There's loads of info online regarding 'cooling your PC', best to check some out and see which one you'd like to try. However, the basic design is pretty common of an intake and exhaust fan, not hard to setup really, the only real 'trick' is to try and get the air flowing 'through' the case, over the CPU and out the back. Really though, any extra cooling helps. Beware that intake fans will haul dust, hair, etc into your PC, so you may have to clean the insides out sometimes. Also if you put an exhaust fan in the rear, remove the 'grate' that is there before mounting the fan, as this will kill like 50% of the airflow from your fan. O by the way you are correct about placing the fan plugs onto the motherboard pins, and yes they should regulate via BIOS the fans-speed. One more thing, all fans are not alike, some have much better RPMs, which of course means cooler.
 
Yup, those Noctua's are the best. I have them on my H110 in just a pull config and it's the most silent part of my cooling system compared to the other case fans that is. Just a tip: use the fan header splitter (you get one for each fan Noctua fan) on the CPU fan header so both fans run equally fast and both will auto toggle to go faster if needed. Also are you sure you have the room for a pushpull config? You need to have a rather large case for that. If it doesn't fit you could always just use a pull or a push config. Won't matter to cooling that much.
 
Seems it can hold a push or a pull config but a pushpull seems rather tight. Might wanna make sure you do the measurements. The H110 comes with the long enough screws needed for a push OR a pull config. Also the noctua fans don't come with long screws and only come with rubber mounts (which are useless in radiator mount configs) and a couple of small screws (which where also useless for radiator mount configs) if i recall correctly.

I used the long screws from the H110's fans to mount the noctua's on top of it in a pull config. Fitted like a gem.

Maybe a video about push / pull / pushpull will get you some info about the setups.
