I have a watercooled 1070 and I am not sure if I want to do a push/pull configuration on the 120mm radiator. How much of a temperature improvement would I see compared to a pull config? Because that is what I have setup right now. Temps are 49-51c when the fans are at 75% speed (it is the Phanteks F120MP), and the radiator is mounted at the top. In addition when the fans are at that aforementioned speed it is clearly audible (air whooshing by, not the fan itself).

The difference is usually marginal, you may see a few degrees in difference but nothing major.

I'd think that the temp difference would be minimal, but the noise profile could be better or worse depending on several things.  definitely worth a try
