Lancool DL PC-K62 & Corsair H50-1

Hi,

Will be getting the Lancool Dragon-Lord PC-K62 case and the Corsair H50-1 watercooler.

What I wondered is where the rad/fan for the H-50 would go? The case has 120mm fan at the back, two 140mm top and a 140mm front fan. Where would the H-50 go, it says it has a 120mm fan, so would it have to go at the back?

People also mention using "push and pull" with the H-50, what does this mean exactly? Does it mean the fan on the rad sucks in air and another fan on the case exhausts it?

Thanks in advance!!

push / pull = a fan at both sides of the radiator. one sucks air into the radiator and another sucks air out of the radiator on the other side.

just had a quick google of the case. looks like you could place the radiator on the back or the top of the case

So would one of the fans be on the outside of the case? How do you put one either side?

usualy both fans are inside the case. but it can have 1 case on the outside.

im not sure myself on how to add 2 as im not 100% on how they are fitted (think there screws)

so you could screw/w/e the other one onto the otherside :cool:

edit: it is just screwed on!

How would you set one to push and one to pull? Do the fans themselves have switches or what? (im new to building pcs haha)

there isnt any switch. you just set one to blow air into the radiator and the other one the opposite way so they are both pushing the air the same way

you dont have to use push/pull setup. you could always do it with just 1 fan (which comes with it)
