advice on push/pull set up

[sunshinewelly]

I am new to this and am purchasing a corsair H75 to cool my CPU. Its one of the recommended solutions to cool an alienwear aurora R7

Is a push/pull set up the best way of cooling a CPU. The case is quite small and air flow is an issue in the alienwear.

so am i drawing cold air on the outer fan and pushing that onto the rad and at the same time pulling the air out of the case onto the fan.

logically speaking i would have assumed that pulling the hot air out of the case is counter productive as its passing over the radiator so would that not heat up the CPU

pulling cold air in thru the front over the radiator compared to having the radiator at the back and exhausting thru it makes next to no difference. various Youtubers have proved this. do what is easiest to set up for your system

hotter the air the less cooling you'll have. an intake at the same fan speed will be cooler than an exhaust. The temp difference will depend on how hot your case gets.
