Push/Pull for mega..do you really need to?

Well I've been reading around, some say do the push pull and some say just one good 120x25mm fan doing push is necessary..what do you guys think?

adding a pull fan MIGHT drop your temps 1-2C. is that worth the $15 for an extra fan?

Only one fan pushing is necessary. Some owners tend to overestimate the pressure requirements of the cooler; the fins aren't so close together that you need push-pull or 38mm fans to get the most out of it. You really don't. A nice medium- or high-speed 25mm fan on it, like an S-Flex G, ZM-F3, Yate D12SH-12, or Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 would all be great choices.

I am using a very low speed push/pull config. 800rpm scythe slipstreams and I get decent results...
