Push And Pull What is That

[TheOnlyXenoT_T]

Hey I was planning for a new build and i heard of a thing for a push and pull config for your fans and i don't now what that is

A first fan pushes the air through the radiator while the second pulls it out again

There are videos about it on Youtube

Here are just some:

EDIT: Just realized that I provided case fan config vids instead of the radiator per say, but you'll get the point, I hope

"Push configuration" is when you set up fans to push air through the radiator, and pull is when they pull air through.

So, if the radiator was mounted at the front of the case, and in both instances the fans were set up as intake, the push configuration means the fans are mounted in between the radiator and the case, while in the other instance they're mounted after the case and radiator so they're pulling the air in (into the case in this example) or out.

 

Pull configuration is used to reduce dust build-up between the fans and radiator.

so i watched some video and learn a bit about positive and negative pressure and im think about 2 fans in the front for intake and 2 at top for outake and 1 at back for out take or 3 in the front 2 for intake at the top for outtake and 1 in the back for outtake is this good or not?
