Question about my cooling loop

Go to solution Solved by FreezeFlyte,

Yea generally there is not performance difference between push and pull. But if you are using a dense fin array then a static preasure optimized fan will do better. And same goes with a high flow fan in a more open fin array radiator. Good Luck.

Today I decided to change how my loop is cooled. I would like it very much if someone could tell me if i'm doing it right or wrong.

 

my computer sits in front of a curtain and after gaming for a bit I can feel the heat pooling there kinda stopping more heat getting out, so I flipped the fan pushing air out through the radiator so it now sucks air in though the radiator, and to compensate I added an extra fan on the top for maximum heat output through the top.

 

does making air get sucked though the radiator work the same as blowing air over it?

would a getting a new case (and larger radiator maybe) that supports a radiator being fitted on the top be better?

 

ps. i'm an amateur computer tinkerer so any tips would help too.

yeah push or pull works the same on a radiator.
