Is push-pull configuration good?

[sou123]

I have installed a deepcool iceedge 400 xt on my msi A78M-E35 with an a8 6600k and Kingston HyperX Fury 4gb 1866Mhz. But it is facing up towards the psu fan. I also have another 92mm case fan in the back. The cpu cooler has the option to add one more 92mm fan as pull with the deepcool fan pushing air upwards. Will it make a difference as the temperature in the room is very high in the summer also will it allow a mild overclock? I found only after buying that my motherboard is not so good, will it not allow any overclocking at all?

Do you have enough room to turn the heat sink 90deg so that it is blowing from the front to the back? The fan in back should be configured as an exhaust fan.

my system has a power supply mounted at the top of the computer with a fan directly underneath it sucking in air from the case and throwing it out the back.. my cpu cooler is mounted so cold air is drawn in from the bottom and exhausts directly into the path of the intake for the powersupply.. my case fan draws in cold air from outside from the front creating an airflow pattern in the shape of an L... ive had no heating issues since ive done it this way.. the push pull config on my cooler make it possible to direct airflow as you want..
