Question about Push/Pull and Push and Pull?

Aleksbgbg · December 30, 2015

Hello,

If let's say you have a Corsair H110, then would putting intake fans at the front of it be a push config as you are pushing air through it? That's my understanding of it without any explanation.

Also, can you put fans at the front and back of the H110? Just wondering

Thanks

Between push or pull there isn't a huge difference between the two, pull is quite popular since it makes cleaning dust out of the rad easier, as for push and pull that can be done on the H110 but the difference is only a few degrees usually.

Yup. Push is when the fan pushed toward the rad, pull is when it pulls from it. Having fans on both sides (push/pull) doesn't make the air flow any faster, which would be required to really make a difference. The added pressure does give a tiny advantage but nothing like a good pressure-optimized fan would. Just set it up so it's easiest to clean. So that the dust doesn't pile up in between the fan and the rad.
