Prawn here with a tips and tricks video on what NOT to do with your all in one liquid cooler when considering a push/pull setup with multiple fans.

In theory adding more fans to your radiator is a great idea as it means more airflow and therefore cooler liquid inside the radiator and better cooling performance. However, there are a few things to think about and mistakes to avoid, so I'm showing what those are here so you can plan out your build. I'm using the NZXT Kraken 280 Elite RGB for demo purposes here    • NZXT Kraken 280 Elite RGB setup guide...   but the logic will also apply to other all in one CPU coolers too.

Things to think about:
- Planning out your push pull setup BEFORE you do it, so you know there's space in the case
- Thinking about whether the radiator or the fans or the tubes will be a problem for the GPU
- Making sure the fans are facing the same way
- Not mixing different fans with different airflow capabilities and speeds
- Planning out how you're going to connect them (will your system handle multiple fans?)
- What extra cables will you need? Do you have enough SATA power? And USB headers?

As you'll see there are a lot of things to think about that could cause issues.
