Push or pull? (H110i & H440)

[iPhotek]

For my build I'm going for a H440, and a H100i.

 

Hopefully I'll be mounting the H100i up top, but should I go for push or pull? I was thinking pull was bad because the case is restrictive enough of air, so if I put a rad in front of them, there will be barely any.

 

But if I go push, I'll probably be pushing the hot air in the case into it which I don't think is good.

 

Any ideas?

 

(I can't fit push/pull, sadly)

[iPhotek]

Sorry!

Didn't mean to put H110i in the title!

Push and pull tend to perform very similarly, but pull is much easier to clean than push, as there are no fans in the way of where the dust will collect.

 

Linus has more on this:

I'm a fan of pull, just for aesthetics, but for temps it doesn't matter, just make sure air is heading up and out of the case

You could go with push and be just fine with some dust filters and positive air pressure.

But then that would be push.

But then that would be push.

Remember you can mount the fans upside-down on top of the radiator, so that they are exhausting hot air by pulling it through the radiator

Oh yeah my bad.

Oh yeah my bad.

Push or Pull really doesn't matter, it doesn't affect temps or noise. Just do whatever is easier in your build. Either way the air will be exhausted out the case.

what about both push and pull. 

 

get ALL the fans.
