Push vs Pull w/ 240 or 280mm rad  

8 members have voted

  1. 1. Which fan arrangement do you prefer when having 2 fans against your radiator? I've always liked being able to see the fans but after I saw the dust accumulation after a couple months didn't know if it was worth taking my water cooler completely off to clean it or if this is a normal procedure.

    • Fans pushing air through the radiator out of the case
      2
    • Fans pulling air from the case out of the case
      6


Benefits on push being lower temps and you get to see the fans inside your case

who taught you that?

turn it around and make it pull, then you won't have to take the thing apart to clean the dust off
