Push pull with h100i

[AidenNeill]

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to fans etc so my situation is I have an h100i cooler in my corsair 540 air case and I have two separate corsair af120's. My question is can I add them to the h100i on the underneath of the rad and how does push pull work and is it good ?

Just leave it as pull for the sake of easier cleaning.

 

Push pull will give you like an approximate 1-3c MAX temperature difference unless you're sporting fans that can't move a kleenex

Push/pull has no benefit

its when you have 2 sets of fans on the rad

I didn't even know you had to clean the rad hah

No one's mentioned it yet, but you'll want SP120s instead of AF120s. AFs are optimized for airflow, while SPs are optimized for heat sinks/radiators. That means your H100i will cool your CPU better with the SPs than the AFs.

 

As for push/pull, it's probably not gonna make much difference except for in your pocketbook since you'll have to buy twice as many fans as you would if you just did push or pull.

Thats what he means, push pull is when you have 2 sets of fans on the rad.
