Question push/pull fan config question

[throwawayaccnt]

I have a question about the airflow ratings between fan types, would I be handicapping my cooler if I set up a corsair hd120 casefan push (54.4 CFM )/noctua Nf-f12 pull (listed 71.7 CFM)? using on a 240mm radiator

I would like LED fans for the front of the case, I just wouldn't want to compromise the cooling capability of the radiator

Slightly lower static pressure and less CFM so it would depend on how you used the fans. If the noctua is not running full speed then you could make up for that by running the Corsair full speed. If you are running the noctua full speed then there will be less cooling capacity with a switch.
