Push/pull for AIO

Is there any advantage to running a push/pull fan configuration for AIO? Currently running a Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM SE with 2 Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.Black fans. Rad and fans are currently mounted in the front of the NZXT 510 as intake. The rear and top mounted exhaust fans are the LL-120s that came with the AIO. CPU is Ryzen 5600x and temps are averaging between 37c and 45c idle and have gotten as high as 86c running Cinebench r20. Also running auto OV through Ryzen Master.

 

I know the NZXT is a horrible case for for thermals and is being replaced with a Lian Li lancool II mesh next week.

seems fine since you have a realyl bad airflow case. 86C is still "safe"

a bit high for your AIO but nothing to worry about

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

push / pull can give you 1-3c  depending on fans, speed.

buying new thermalpaste can give you 1-2c (Grizzly Kryonaut)

So the gains can be negligible it seems. I have some of the Grizzly Kryonaut to use when I change out my case next week.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with the term "CLC". What is it? Yes please explain it like I'm a noob.

CLC is a maintenance free water cooler, like an AIO but with no fill port. An H100 is a CLC, I guess it could be called an AIO too.. I still get them confused and they have been out for at least a decade lol.

CLC must stand for closed loop cooler. Have heard that.
