I have
COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP 120mm Case Fan
and
Scythe DFS123812-2000 120mm Case Fan


Just got my self a
Prolimatech Mega Shadow CPU Cooler

All 3 were for 60 bucks from a guy I found on cragislist.

Now I dont know what to do with the 2 fans since they have different speed so i can't use them for push/pull or can I?

If I can't, which one should I use?

scythe DFS...... for PUSHING
and
COOLER master for PULLING

Ok I have no idea what you talking about

Let me draw you a pretty picture

Which one is fan 1 and which fan 2?

Eh, i wouldn't suggest using them in push pull since they aren't the same fan. If you can take the noise, I would say use the scythe. If not, the cooler master. Both are pretty good fans. But the scythe would probably cool better(might require different fan mounts though being a 38mm thick fan).

FAN 1 scythe DFS....... airflow direction <---------
FAN 2 Coolermaster........ airflow direction <--------

+rep thank you.

Btw I dont understand how the arrow on top of the fan works... I think its pointing to the wrong direction, because i remember usually where the logo is placed the airs is sucked and out the other side but the arrow on the fan says other wise...

Use the the scythe on the front closest to your ram in a push or with the fan details closest to the heatsink. Then with the other fan, mount it on the back or closest to your rear exhaust in the same direction as the front fan.

I am sorry but what do you mean "details" like the grill thats only on one side?

One side of the fan has the blades and the other side has the sticker with the details of the fan.

You have it backwards. The air comes in the side with no sticker, and exits the side with the sticker.
