Radiator Fans

[Zairros17]

Hello.. i want to ask 

 

does fans placement on radiator matter or not ? 

 

Like If i put the fans in front of rads , so the fans can be seen from front panel , and if i put the fans on the back of rads so fans can’t be seen from front panel , Does It matter ? Like if one is makes temps hotter than other configuration ? 

 

Been planing to use Corsair H115i RGB Platinum as intake , Top fans ad intake and rear fans as exhaust

 

Case : Fractal Design Meshify C

The difference is generally pretty small. The manual or marketing material may show which configuration is recommended. 

For the H115i RGB Platinum, use the fans in push if possible.

Push or pull refers to the fan's direction relative to the heatsink or rad.

Spoiler

From what i read both cool the same,But pull makes it easier to clean out the dust later on.

So is it better to use 115i On top or front ? Planning to use it on front ,  From what i see , Both fans on the rad is on grille side right ? This means if i want to install push , i have to install fans on the back of the rads ? Or do i have to install fans on boths side of the rads ?

Does which side i install the fans on rads Make difference ? Can i use push config when i installing the fans on the front of rads ? Nothing more than aesthetics needs , so i can see my fans from front of my Meshify C Mesh

It's usually not possible to fit a large rad at the top of the Meshify C. Unless there's not enough space due to graphics card length, install the rad at the front for intake. 

For push, the fans would go between the rad and case. Ex: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/hKMZxr

For pull, the rad would go between the fans and case. Ex: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/zyTBD3

You don't have to use push. Pull works fine as well. 

The H115i is larger and substantially better. Whether the extra cooling is useful depends on what you're cooling and how sensitive you are to noise.

I think i’ll go with push , Is it worth to buy H115i RGB Platinum ? Or u have recommendations for me ? For now i only had my Eyes on Corsair and Cooler Master tho.. 

 

p.s : not to care about noises

Come to think of it, if you're in it mainly for the rgb aesthetics, I'm not sure if there are any options strictly better than the H115i Pro Platnium. The Kraken X62 is worth looking at if you haven't already considered it.
