Push/Pull and Radiators

[Deuce]

Hey i need your advice.

 

First..sorry for my bad english.

 

i have a Caselabs STH10

and Radspace for a 360, 480 in the top and 2x 560 in the Bottom

 

First choice was for all Alphacool Nexxos UT 60 in Push and Pull like this:

but after i see this

i thin push& pull is not a good Choice.

 

Should i switch to Monsta Rads only with Push?

Push/pull give about 30% performance benefit.

 

It also allows you to run your fans at low RPMs to achieve the same airflow.

 

Because the rad you are using has such a low (10) FPI you will get virtually no dust build up so don't worry about it.

 

If you have the space and money for push/pull then go for it.

 

------------

 

that said, you should try to get that monsta radiator in push+pull if you can.

I can...but then i have only 14mm left between the fans..not enough space for the tubes..

 

Here is an Push&Pull example with 60mm rads

I see. If that's going to be the config then it's effectively Pull+push anyway. Make the air flow straight thought he bottom from left to right.

 

You could also make good use of SLI/Crossfire fittings between those two rads.

Ok thank you, then i go for Nexxxos ut 60 with push+pull. or there are stronger/cooler Radiators on the market?

 

second thoughts...1 or 2 cooling loops.

Hardware are 2 Titans @ max possible oc for 24/7 and when its out - a ivy e @ 5ghz (when possible)

 

third..cooling the mainboard with water or normaly per Airflow for this high ocd cpu?

[Ghost]

Two loops just causes complications and ends up costing a lot more. Do it if you don't mind either of those two things, I wouldn't.

 

Not sure about such an optimistic overclock though, it's up to your chip more than your cooling by that point.

 

For the mainboard, you don't really need cooling for it. Again, buy a block for it if you have spare money but don't buy it if you could invest into something else for that price. Remember, you also need fittings for it.

Ok thank you.

Last Question at the moment. What are good Fans for Push+Pull? 120 and 140mm. I heard that Eloops are great in Push but bad (loud) ind pull...Colortheme of the Mod is red/black.

Scythe Gentle Typhoons (for mid-high RPMs) and NF-F12s (for low RPMs) are good 120 radiator fans.

 

Most 140mm fans perform relatively close to each other afaik. The BGear fans are good according to @airdeano but I haven't personally used them.
