Push/Pull Setup on a H150i 360mm in a Lian Li PC-011 DW

[AmpedUpDad]

Alright, so I want to try and do a push/pull to get some better temps on my H150i AIO, but I am not sure which place would be the best place to do it. I also have heard that setting up the AIO rad/fans at the top as an exhaust and setting the bottom and side fans to intake would be the best for cooling.

 

I just wanna make sure I have all my stuff set up well and can fit everything where it's supposed to be.

set it to exhaust, and remove the top filter.

Fiy hotter air has the tendency to rise up, so its advisable to keep that in mind and not work against it.

Yeah that comic sans almost made me not respond...

Set the aio rad to exhaust in a push pull on top and remove the filter?

 

Yeah, I just noticed how terrible the signature looks. >.>

yeah, you might not even need push pull. removing the filter will help as there is no point having on on top, becuase you want dust that is in your case to go out.

So that reinforces the idea to put the rad on top in a push pull, but would I be able to fit it well and not impede any of the wiring or any of that?

And fans don't give a shit.

Gamersnexus tested the SL600M ("Hot air goes up"), turned it sideways, and found better temps.

It should fit well, try putting it on top w/o fan, and just hold a fan underneath, and see if it fits.

Ah yeah well forced air does what it wants.
But yeah it depends on static pressure, airflow and all that.

Okay.

 

I will probably fix/change it whenever I upgrade my mobo/ram/cpu to Ryzen 3000 stuff.

 

This 3570k is starting to show it's age/wear.

what's the voltage on the 3570? have you tried lowering it a bit?

the h150i should cool it perfectly fine.

It's at stock voltage OC'ed to 4.2ghz.

 

I need to change it.

 

It's not that my temps are "bad" per say, I just wanna make sure I am being as efficient as possible.

stock voltage is auto! try 1.15v, and go lower.

Is this for heating purposes or....?
