I have 2x Xspc Rx radiators and i am wondering is there much benefit on these rads running them in push pull compared to just push.
I have a 360Rx and a 240Rx .

From what I have heard it is only a 1 - 2 C difference. I personally haven't played with the options yet.

1-2 degrees for and extra 5 fans at $20 each does not seem worth it to me

A couple of AP-15 or 14 Gentle Typhoons you won't need push/pull. If you're running a couple of 1000rpm fans, then you might need push/pull.

If you are feeling like saving some cash, you could pick up some Yate Loons, I know most shops sell them for around 5 - 8 bucks a pop. Just make sure you pickup the medium speed fans, don't need some crazy 3000rpm fans blasting all the time

i dont mind paying a decent dollar for the fans but if i have to double it i could be up for a couple of hundred dollars just for rad and case fans. Thats if push pull is even worth it on my set up.
