Push/pull in the top?

Hi Guys,

I am building a water cooled loop for my rig. I am not sure whether I need push/ pull in the top or not...

 

I currently have a Monsta rad in the front in push/pull. I have a D5 pump and a dual bay res, two GPU blocks and a CPU block. Do i need to do push/ pull on the top or is push good enough? 

 

I have already got enough fans for push/pull but wanted to know if it is really worth it.

Push/pull usually1 improve performance by  30%. You can always add fans later if you need the extra cooling.

 

1 - Depends on your cooling set up, improvements could easily be nothing in certain situations such as idle operation.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Okay! Thats sounds enough for me to add it to the loop! I have the fans but just didn't want to go overkill on it...
