The radiator's fan

[JAYJAYBEE303]

I'm buying a cheapish waterblock for my CPU which will either be the Corsair Hydro H60 V2 or H80i (depending on budget), but i want to know about the fans. the radiator will be at the rear of the case on the inside. I'll also be investing in a new fan but i can only get one. I can put a fan nearer the inside of the case or nearer the outside of it, and i'm choosing between the AF120 or SP120 fans (both performance edition). which of these options is the most efficient combo?

SP120 would be a better option because you want static pressure with radiators.

It does not matter whether you use push or pull in a no other fans in your case scenario.

It comes down to your airflow, if you have air coming in from the front or the top of your case, position the fan as an exhaust. If you have no air coming in from the front/top of your case then I would position it as an intake.

Those AIO's only need one fan because their low fpi and not so thickness. Get a SP120.

I would be running the two top fans as exhaust, front two as intake and bottom as intake. Then position the fan between the radiator and the case as an intake (direct shot of cold air to the radiator).

 

Not the best paint skills ever, but you get the idea. If you position it as an exhaust, your GPU is only going to be constantly feeding the radiator hot air.
