I'm buying a pair of SP120 LED fans for my new H105 and was wondering how much cooling I would be sacrificing by putting them on top of the radiator as exhausts. The reason for doing this is mainly for aesthetics but also because of what Linus mentioned about cleaning a pull setup.

Thank you!  :)

You could have push+pull, just keep the stock fans on the bottom and put the LED fans on top?

Oh sorry, it's an Enthoo Pro. @

Askew

 

Edit: Looking into my case right now I don't think I can fit push/pull.

 

I would set up the radiator as exhaust, with 2 fans underneath it in a push configuration.

 

If you use pull then it will hide your nice fans above the rad and be less efficient.

 

Push FTW, if you ensure to filter the intakes at the front of the case then the dust inside the case that may get into the fans/radiator will be very minimal and nothing to worry about.
