Radiator and fan - just need to know is this correct?.

rirawin

So I have a fan on one end exhausting hot air outside the case, and the other one on the side sucking air inside the case?. Hope that makes sense, I wanted to know is this correct, or do I just need the one fan exhausting the hot air?

It will work with one, just try one fan, than 2 fans. With two you may get better temperatures, with one it should be less noisy.

So just one for exhaust will be OK?.

That is what we call push/pull perfectly fine that is the best way to get low temps but can affect noise a little bit.

Cheers, I need to get some better fans but would static pressure be the correct ones?. I was thinking corsair quiet sp, unless someone has other recommendations.

There's no such thing as "correct" here. Airflow-optimised fans should work fine on radiators, but pressure-optimised fans will work better and last longer. Certainly, if you're going for Corsair you might as well pick some SP-series fans, since there's barely any difference in price between AF and SP anyway.
