If you got the room and the money a 4 fan push pull will give you the best performance. If not, your gonna want to "push" the air through the radiator.

I would say start out with two fans in push and see if your happy with the temps/noise. If not get two more fans and put em on there. Just keep in mind, more fans, more noise.

push pull when using low RPM fans. EX can benefit from high flow / high pressure fans very well. I am using it with Scythe S-flex 1,900rpm (in pull) and Scythe GT Ap-15 (in push).

you could use a fan controller to keep things quiet at idle and bump the fans up when needed...
