Liquid Cooling Radiator Intake

[swoftt]

Hey guys,

 

I'm quite inexperienced with liquid cooling so i have a question about the radiator. If was to use my radiator and radiator fans as intake what would be better to mount the fans on the inner side of the radiator so they suck cool are trough the radiator or mount the on the external(so to say) side so they push cool air trough the radiator ? 

 

sorry for asking this if it's been allready asked/answered i just couldn't find anything on the web, specially since i'm not native english speaker so i wasn't quite sure how to formulate the question for google

It makes essentially no difference between push or pull as long as the fan is pressure optimized for ideal performance.

Ok ty that was pretty much all the information i needed except 1 small thing that i'm still left wondering  Should i put the fans in the middle (between the radiator and the case) or put the radiator between the case and the fan i hope you understand what i'm trying to say.

It just depends on the mounting options and hardware you have as some cases will let you mount it in different ways. There is no difference between sandwiching the case between the rad and fan or the other way around.
