push pull fans

Go to solution Solved by 0x1e,

hello is it better to have just 2 fans on a 2x 120mm rad or 4x 120mm fans in push - pull style

my rad is a 120 by 240mm by corsair

Always use pull, makes it easier to clean and doesn't effect cooling.

Push pull has no real effect. Maybe 1-2 cooler depending on the rad. If you have a thin rad then you may benefit from push pull but not by much.

The main reason for push pull is the have the fans spin slower for less noise.

It's not a race to the bottom.
