Push or Pull?

Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

It doesnt matter. Push and pull will give you the same temps. What matters is whether you put it as an intake or exhaust.

As an intake it will run cooler but heat up your system more, as exhaust it will run hotter but heat up your system less.

 

If you want it in the bottom or front of your case it should be intake. If you want it in the top or rear of the case it should be exhaust.

So i ordered a Corsair H105 and i just would like to know what fan orientation i should use because i was just going to do pull because it would be and intake and it would be taking fresh air in but some are advocates for push, so just let me know what you think is best pull(what i was going to do originally) or push if you say push please let me know why, thanks in advanced.

I use push on my H105, because when I do a pull config, it creates turbulence(?) noise, since it has to suck air through a restricted space. When I do push it's much quieter.

Pull. (Fans on top of radiator pulling air through it)

 

Easier to clean the dust off of the radiator, same performance.

Mount the fans on top of the rad for pull.
