Just a single Ultra Kaze is fine. With the Megahalems, I highly doubt there's much of a difference between just one fan and 2.
Push/Pull or single fan?

Sounds like a good idea to me! Does it really matter whether the single fan is in push or pull?

The noise doesn't bother me too much, the fan will be on all the time when I'm gaming but when I'm GPU folding overnight or just leaving my PC on I'll probably just turn the fan off. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Well, the Megahalem itself weighs 790g, plus the weight of a single fan - I'm sure it'd be fine. There's heavier heatsinks out there, and I haven't heard a story yet of a CPU or board being broken because of the weight. The only thing I'd be careful of is when you're taking your rig to a LAN party, all the moving around and bumping could (theoretically) cause problems.
