Hey,

 

I am building my first custom loop (CPU and GPU), cooled with 2 x 280mm radiators. One is in the front, one in the top of the case. I figured that the cooling performance is enough, regardles of the fan placement (push or pull), but my question is in which configuration do I get the most aiflow behind my front radiator in order to cool mainboard parts and drives in the case? Should I go push or pull here? The top radiator will be push, for best performance and looks.

Pull, since the fins of the RAD wont be disrupting the airflow like they do in a push config
