Alright so I have an air 240 case and the h80i GT CPU cooler from corsair..

I'm going to put the radiator in the front upper fan place but I don't know weather I put it in a push/pull, pull or push

Note I have the stock case fan config, 1 120mm top exhaust and 2 120mm intake in the front

Thanks a lot :)

I wouldn't use Push-Pull, simply because the temperature difference isn't that high and it because it looks like garbage and takes way to much space.

If you use Push or Pull is personal preference. Sometimes it's easier to clean if you use Push or Pull or sometimes one of them just looks better.

I'll do pull I think, I should use the SP fans included right?

Yup. Those fans have good static pressure.

I have one question I just got done building the PC and there's this weird noise

I wasn't able to hear any weird noise in that video.

If there is a slight humming noise, then don't worry. That's most likely the pump.

Alright one last question, when ever I start the PC my monitor goes to sleep, I'm not using a graphics card

Does it wake up when you move the mouse?

Actually in thick 120mm rads, specially the H80i GT which is pretty thick, it can make quiet the difference, up to 5-10 degrees

Yeah, practically not worth it I think, cause it looks so ugly...  :lol:

It sounds like just the pump running, nothing unusual from what I can hear.

Okay, thanks for clearing it up :)

Could be the stock fans what come with the radiator. My current fans sound f***'in awful when they get to around 900-1100 RPM.

If I can pose a question in here as I have the same cooler and had a question about running in a pull-config (if I need to make a new thread for my question, let me know.  just thought it was relevant here).

 

Is it better to use high static pressure or high airflow fans in a pull config?  I've been reading around online and see a lot of people go either way.  Some say the SP fans only have the high SP effects when running in push as the directed airflow is only created on the side the air is blowing to and not the side the air is being drawn from.  Would this mean that airflow fans are a better choice for a strictly pull config?

No static pressure is still better in pull than just airflow. The difference is indeed smaller but still significant
