Push Pull Configuration?

[Jawzey]

Hello everyone! I have started this topic to help me figure out some stuff about push-pull configuration. I plan to get a Corsair H105 closed loop CPU cooler. I also plan to get a Corsair 780T PC case. I am wondering if this case will have enough clearance for a push-pull configuration with the H105. I cannot seem to find any videos or pictures demonstrating this so I need to be sure. And one more thing, how well will Corsair AF140 LED fans work with the H105? I want to be able to do push-pull with these fans. If that won't work all that well, I can certainly use the Corsair SP140 fans. Oh and by the way, the motherboard is going to be an ASUS Maximus VII Hero. I don't know if that matters though... Thanks for everyone's help!

Enough clearance, not sure. The H105 doesn't need push/pull at all, it's also a 240mm rad so you need 120mm fans. Two SP120's on it in push or pull is sufficient.

How well would the AF120 LEDs work though? I want to be able to have a bit more LED lighting in my case.

yeah they will work fine,

Any efficiency difference between the AFs or the SPs?

probably but af's have good enough pressure to overcome a radiator

Yes, a very large amount....

The AF's are not designed for radiator use.

There are LED SP120's. If you want the most out of your rad at any RPM, static pressure fan's are the way to go.

 

AF120's do not come close to the static pressure SP120's give and with AF's a good bit of the air they push will just hit the fins and disperse instead of going over the fins.
