CoolerMaster Saigon 120V

So, this might be really noobish, but I was wondering if that fan flow direction matters on the radiator? I currently have the fan touching the case blowing out with the radiator behind it so the air goes through the radiator then the fan. It seems to be working, and it's keeping my cpu cool, but is it optimal?

This is called "pull" configuration as the air is "pulling" air through the radiator, "push" is where air is pushed through the radiator, push/pull is a combination of the two, one pushing, one pulling.

Either way, if the fins aren't very tightly packed together (low fin density) it doesn't matter if it's push or pull. *so in your case it doesn't really matter. It depends on if you want to see the radiator directly or the fan directly when looking into your rig.

*and also I think you mean Seidon 120v?
