So i have a Nox Hummer ZS for a case, and i can fit a 240 AIO in it, but my question is, how do i set it up for a push pull config, because my current front fans sit between the front panel and the inside of the case. Do I have to remove them and also mount them inside?

Also to touch on the fan speeds in push/pull.
While having double fans may seem like double the airflow, which means you can run them slower it actually dosent work like that.
With two fans vs four fans they would end up at the same speed, the extra two fans cant "pull" more air on top of what the others are already "pushing".
Now, this would create slightly more pressure which is good, generally two good fans would be better than four okay fans.


from what i have searched, push/pull gives a bit extra cooling, and my i7 7700k is a hot chip, but even if i go just with pull or just with push, i still would like to know how i set up push/pull in this case
 
I dont think the screws would be long enough to do push pull in that case.
Additionally, adding more fans probably wont result in cooler temps in this situation. The 7700k is not a hot chip, it has a very poor capability of transmitting its heat to the cooling solution.
Adding more fans wont change the fact the processor itself cant get the heat to the waterblock in the first place (Due to the poor performing TIM under the IHS)
 


The AIO that i order is the cooler master masterliquid 240, my biggest question would ne if both set of fans for push/pull would have to be attached on the radiator or if one set would be between the case and the front panel and the other set on the radiator?
 


Using push/pull will not lower CPU temps. Radiator fans only affect water temp, and push/pull will not cool more than just a push or pull configuration. Only way to cool the water better is to get a larger rad or spinning your fans with higher RPM.
 


But with push/pull i dont need to have the fans spinning as fast to get the same performance of just push or pull.
 


Yes you will, as you will not get better airflow from push/pull. This has been tested multiple times by several tech sites and shown that it doesn't help anything.
 


OK then, ill set it up a push config, but my question still remains, can i set it up as a push pull config with this PC case keeping in mind that ther is a division between th inside of the case and the front panel were fans go.
 
In my answer I stated I dont think the screws will be long enough to do push/pull, that was my answer to the "is it possible question"
If they do turn out to be long enough, or you find some way to make it work, try it both ways, experiment and see what happens.
 


yeah, i mean i think that if the screws arent long enough i cant even do a push configuration and im gonna be limited to pull
