Hey, what would be the best configuration for a push pull setup on an aio? obviously you should have sp fans for pushing air through a radiator but what about pulling? Linus made a video where he discussed this and his conclusion was that using sp as push and af as pull was better than af for push and sp for pull but he never discussed the option of sp for pull and push. So what do you guys think? Should I go with sp fans on both sides of the radiator? -

Hi all, I am planning to use the H510 Elite case with a X63 kraken AIO for cooling the CPU. My main concern is that the RGB fans in the front are not static pressure fans and in order to use the AIO at full potential I would need to remove them and put the ones that came with the AIO on (non-RGB) I have searched for some answers around this, I didn't want to give up on the case because aesthetics, also I didn't want to give up on the AIO as i didn't want a huge nocutua D15 sitting in my build. What am wondering is that, would it be okay to use the RGB fans (500-1500rpm, 0.17 -1.52mm-H20) in the push config on the front and the AIO fans (500-1800 +/-300 RPM, 0.21 - 2.71mm-H20) in the pull config on the back of the rad so i don't loose the RGB and potentially get the most cooling out of the AIO? Some people say the high pressure needs to push, but some others say that the high pressure fan can pull making it easier for the low pressure fan to push air through.

Greetings, I recently upgraded my computer from an old i7-2770K. I used a NZXT-H440 for the case, i7-7700K CPU, 16gb DDR4, Asus Z270 Strix Gaming F, an AIO Silverstone TD02-LITE 240mm (link) CPU cooler mounted in the front, and I "recycled" my GTX-970 from my last build. I am worried about airflow through the case across the motherboard. Mounting the cooler in the front as intake gave me the best cooling performance for the CPU. Right now, with an ambient temperature of 29C (84.2F) my CPU idles at 35C (91.4F). While gaming, the CPU will sometimes peak at around 55C (131F). With the installation of the AIO's rad in the front, I moved 2 of the stock 120mm fans to the top of the case as exhaust. This left only one of the stock fans as intake in the front that was not obstructed by the radiator. This fan blows across my mechanical drives and into the PSU basement. I was wondering if going to a push-pull configuration on my rad would be a good idea? Would this increase the airflow through the case? If so, The current fans on the radiator, which are pushing, are optimized for "Static Pressure". Should the "pull" fans also be "Static Pressure" or "Air Flow"? I would be grateful for any advice. I am not worried too much about noise. Living in a tropical climate, with the air conditioning only ran in the evenings, cooling is more important than noise. On a side note, I have also included a couple of pictures of the build. Case LED's yes or no?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if I could mount the x62 kraken, 280mm radiator, in the front with a push-pull config in the H700i? I've seen builds with the x52, 240 mm radiator, in the front with a push-pull config. Is there anything blocking a 280mm radiator from being installed? The NZXT H700i page says that maximum clearance for front mounted radiators is 60mm but I'm not sure if this is including fans or just the radiator. I would need at least 80mm for the x62 kraken with fans on both sides. If the maximum clearance of 60mm is not including the front 25mm fan and the maximum clearance is actually 85mm then I would have enough space. Thanks, Nigel

Im planning on making a new pc and im wandering if push pull is worth it. If it is how would I set it up if I use corsair’s ml fans i would need more fan headers bc im planning on useing the h150i what uses 3 fan headers on the commander pro and 3 140 ll fans what use up the last 3 fan headers on the commander pro and I dont wana buy a second one just for 3 fans. Is there a way to set it up ware it can be controled throught corsair iCUE

Hi I am considering the Corsair Carbide 275r, but i was wondering if i could use an radiator in a push pull config. Because i want a 360 rad and the case have a cutout in the PSU shroud, but the dimensions arent mentioned anywhere. I have googled and didnt find anything. So i was wondering if any of you know. Thanks in advance for answers

Hi, I've got Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case with 3x 120mm Noctua fans in front. I'm thinking about replacing my cpu air cooler with a Kraken x62. Question is: Does it matter if I leave the 3 existing Noctua fans to front and install x62 in push-pull setting with 2x140mm pulling and 3x120mm pushing? Reason to do is that I'm cheap and leaving 3x120mm fancy Noctua fans unused feels bad and Enthoo Evolv isn't the best case in terms of airflow, so maximizing airflow to the chassis is important. (I've widen the front panel cap with extending the pegs attaching it to the front part of the case). Thanks for the help! /A In case this threat somehow wonders to other fan setups and airflow control on the setup it is as follows: - 140mm rear exhaust - 3x120mm top exhaust - 3x120mm front intake Rear fan is always on with 40+%, when heat gets higher the top fans activate and slowly ramp up to 80% if needed. At the end case gets negative air pressure, although I haven't pushed the computer to limits where negative pressure would actually be maintained for long periods. -
I'm looking for 6 static pressure (radiators) and 2 airflow (back of the case) fans, all 120mm. I thought of getting the Noctua NF-F12 PPC PWM as the static pressure fans but I'm scared they might be too loud, are there any comparisons to other fans?

Hey guys! I was wondering is the 3-5 degree cooler CPU advantage worth choosing a push-pull setup in a radiator? I heard that "pull" is the easiest to clean and "push" is the better for performance. However push-pull is the best for performance but if tougher to clean as you have to remove a layer of fans. Is it worth the extra $20 for push-pull fans and the cleaning difficulties? I'm buying the Corsair H100i v2 AiO. Push/pull build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Adisaur/saved/bKptt6 Push-pull build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Adisaur/saved/Hr9999

Hey guys I need your help. I'm building a PC and I intend to overclock my CPU and GPU as far as I can while keeping the temps as low as possible. I have £500 to spend and I was wondering if I could build a great loop with it. I've chosen a Phanteks Enthoo Primo V2 which allows for up to 2x 480mm 60mm Thick radiators in push pull so there's plenty of wiggle room. If I go with a Corsair Carbide Air 540 it'll leave me with roughly £600 but I don't think Id have to spend that much on a loop to get really good temps (please advise me on this though). I was thinking of getting an Alphacool 480 D5/ut kit (http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Alphacool-Cool-Answer...) and then getting a full cover waterblock, some more coolant, more fittings and tubing, fans and another radiator to cool both my gpu alongside the cpu (which the kit covers). I'm not sure though, if this is the best way to do it (if it is then please guide me to which parts would be best). Here's a link to my system: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/nzWXBm I realise that after a certain price point you might be paying lots more for just a few degrees change in temps but I'm definitely staying far away from CLC and AIOs in general. I might get a 980 ti if the price isn't too ridiculous when it gets released (apparently this month) so I might get a custom air cooled one(it's been said that the reference cards and custom ones are getting debued at the same time) or get a smaller radiator and less exciting fans to fit my budget. This decision is also where I need your help. Thanks. Edit: If you could find the components from their UK sellers, it would be great because even though I can convert the prices into dollars, things are more expensive here.

Is there a significant difference between a push and push pull configuration? Can you see a noticeable improvement in temperatures or is it only minor. And how much does thermal interface material have to do with CPU temps?

I have a 280L coming on Thursday. My case is an NZXT. S340. I currently have tow Fractal 140mm Silent Series fans on the front of the case. I am going to do push pull with the radiator. Should I push with the CM and pull with the Fractal or the other way around? Thanks.

I am planning to build a new system including the ASUS Sabertooth Z87, the H100i and some SP/AF120 fans by Corsair in a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. I am currently not sure where I should plug the Radiator fans (4x SP120 / Push-Pull) into. There are a few options (tell me if there are more options): 1. Plug them into the H100i fan headers and control them via Corsair Link 2. Plug them into the 2 CPU fan headers (I could use 2 Y-Cables) on the MoBo and control them via Fan Expert 2 (if i think about it, this shouldnt work) 3. Plug them into the 2 CPU fan headers and 2 System fan headers on the MoBo and control them via Fan Expert 2 I really want to avoid the use of two different softwares to control all my fans. My second question would be, if it is worth to buy the PWM versions of the SP120's. Third one: 4x SP120's? Or 2x SP120's + 2x H100i-fans? Last one: How many radiator screws are included with the h100i? Do I need to buy another set of screws to accomplish the Push-Pull-configuration? Generell Informations: Location: Germany Budget: Unlimited Preferences: Performance/Temperatures 70% Noise 30% I hope I included all the necessary Information for you to give me your opinions.

I am starting a build in a prodigy with a dark green/black theme. Was wondering if there are any static pressure fans that are green, possibly some glow. I have already found Coolermaster R4 series air flow fans that follow my idea. Any help would be appreciated here!

H60 Push-Pull with different fans?
Infernal Burrito posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Is it possible to push pullify an H60 with different brand fans? -
Quick question on rad thickness A. Slim rad with push pull config B. Thicker rad with pull or push config Everything else being the same in the system, what temp. diff are you guys experiencing with the diff set up? advantages: A = quieter? B = ? Thanks

I ordered a water cooler with one fan. I have an OLD fan here at home and if they are the same size, 120 mm, but not the same brand and I have no idea what the CFM of the old one is, can I use one on one side of the rad and the new one on the other for a push/pull config or do they have to be exact matches? My thinking is that they can be close but not have to be exact. I know on some things like RAID, you must use identical drives. I know that is not related but it is an example of hardware having to match. Also with some RAM you must match. I'm sure matching fans would be better but what are your opinions of utilizing a spare part to try to improve cooling? -
This might be a hard question to answer... I currently have the Corsair Obsidian 750D case and I also have Corsair H100i installed. Right now, I have a push configuration going, but I just found a pair of 120mm fans laying around so I was just wondering if this case can fit a push pull configuration. I dry fitted the fans (which are both 25mm wide) and they appeared to have a very snug fit, but I don't want to have the screws that screwed into the fans touch the motherboard, or the piece of metal where the motherboard is mounted, and cause a short (?). I am not home right now, but I don't know if it would be safe to do this or not. I am really cautious when it comes to this stuff. The screws do not seem to line up with the back of the motherboard, or the PCB of the motherboard at all, but there is this small heatsink in the corner of the motherboard that I would rather not apply pressure to. Thanks in advance. -
Could you top mount a H100i in push/pull w/ SP120QEs with a Z87 Sabertooth mobo? Looking at pictures of the C70 it looks tight but it might work.

iam planing on getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. i want to over a 3570k. i ve heard of people reaching 4.5 using push pull. does the push pull help? i saw linus video on the h100i, but i didnt know if push pull would help because the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a small thx
