Push/Pull?

[Sir Asvald]

I have in my case, 2 Fans one in the front, and one in the back. what is the best way for me to setup push/pull. I've also got on the side-panel (left hand side) and extra fan place. 

 

 

Thanks.

I have in my case, Coolermaster K280.

 

I like pull better. From a physics standpoint, it seems more efficient.

It's also easier to clean as there's no fan in the way of the rad.

Ideally ,you will have an intake fan in the front, and an exhaust fan in the back. Your heatsink should also be set up in this manner. It's debatable if the top should be exhaust or intake, but I'd prefer intake to help keep the static pressure.

@NonaHexa @Vavetti you may want to post those answers in his other thread.

Instead of double posting, you can just edit your post.

 

As I said in your other thread, from a physics standpoint, pull seems more efficient on radiators.

For intake fans, they have to be push.

 

@Abdul201588 you need to follow your own posts.

physics? i don't really get it but, having too much intake with just passive exhaust(through holes) will give you a hella lot headache when cleaning due to dust buildup.

Sorry, internet is a bit laggy today, not going well.

Oh, I just thought it was an accidental double-post. I thought I selected the earlier thread.

No, he should definitely have SOME exhaust fan. But on a radiator, pulling air through is going to be more efficient than pushing.

Well at least you saw it. :-) You'll want the air to travel from the front, and out the back. So as you said your back pulls air in now, you'll want to change that around. You want the airflow to not be obstructed, and to flow in the front and out the back. Imagine wind blowing through your case from the front. You want it to flow through the back to cool everything!

As said in you're other thread, it's easier to clean with pull as dust will get stuck on the rad and there's no fan in the way with pull.

I've got a place on the left side of my case for a fan. Shall I add one?

Do you mean your side-panel? I always found those inconvenient to use. Especially if you need to get inside of your case. So personally I wouldn't bother, but it's up to you.

Oh okay. Well the case was okay for what I needed, now I'm going to get a video card, I need to replace the case itself.
