Question about different fans for cooler.

I'm buying a Corsair H105 soon and wanted to have a push/pull set up. I already have 2 SP120 Performance Edition fans at 2350 RPM and the fans that come with the H105 are 800 - 2700 RPM. Is the difference in speed close enough that I don't have to have matching fans? If so, which should push and which should pull?

You'll get better temps by getting an H220-X or Glacer 240L than by running an H105 in push-pull.

As for the fans you'd need to get something that's PWM.

+1 to ATM. When you pick fans for a rad, you better pick up the same all across the rad, whether it's a 120.1 or a 120.5 . That said, I wouldn't put 2 different pairs of fans on the same rad. Many things vary, like static pressure, airflow and you will get a varying cooling across your rad.

Thanks for the help. I went with the Swiftech. I'm gonna stick to the stock fans for now.
