I could have sworn a while back the general consensus was that the push/pull method of putting fans on a radiator was not recommended as it would just create turbulence. Lately I have seen more people using this method and recommending it. So what's the current recommendation?

On to the math... I've got a BI-X, and HWLabs recommends using a 100CFM fan on it. If i was to push/pull would I be able to use 2 less powerful fans? I'm not sure about the math but it would seem to me that the CFM would remain the same but the static pressure would increase. Am I right?

BTW, I request we sticky a FAQ to the to of this forum with answers to questions like this...
