Push pull vs push?

[TheNaitsyrk]

So I read this article. https://www.ekwb.com/blog/push-pull-or-push-pull-on-radiators/

 

I'm just thinking if it's worth adding another layer of fans onto my 60mm thick radiators. Will it make a huge difference?

 

I currently have it in pull one fan layer. Planning to change it to push into the rad as fans have high speed and high static pressure. What do you guys think?

In theory 60 mm radiators benefit the most from push-pull, but in your case you have so much radiator space that I question the need for fans at all. Yes, more fans will mean more flow at the same noise, or same flow at lower noise; but without knowing the fluid temperature, there is no way to know whether more flow even makes any difference to your system.

 

And I know you don't care about noise, so probably not.

The answer is both yes & no, but mostly no.

 

Yes push pull can make a difference in some instances however for this to be true you need to be pumping out enough heat to be saturating the loop. For the vast majority of people it will make no difference and is just wasted money & extra noise.

That makes perfect sense. I'll just try to do it push, in my last configuration it worked perfectly.
