Corsair h100 push/pull

ryzouk · 3 Sep 2014 at 23:16

Hello,

I would like to use push pull with my h100 though the space is so small for both fans at the top of the case because of the msi heatsinks.

I was thinking of mounting it at the front of my case by removing the drive bays and mounting it there. I would like to know if anyone else has done this or has any advice on it. I don't know if it will reach and if the hose with push against my ram.

Any thoughts ?

Cheers

H100 hoses will not reach the front of the case. You need to jerryrig it to the drivecages somehow

However push/pull will most likely do less than 1c difference, and none at full whack. The rad is pretty thin, and push/pull only increases the pressure, not the airflow.

You'll do better by adding a fan or two at the bottom of the case... or Front. Or turn the back-fan around to push air in.

To be honest, since your graphics card throws air into the case, it's most likely best if you put a fan in the bottom to pull cool air in. That pushes the hot air out faster, meaning better temps for all components.

tbh you'll only see a 2c to 3c difference is temps using push and pull. That's why I don't use it myself. Not worth it.

I see well mabey I would be best to keep it were it is. As for putting a fan at the button do you mean like in this picture ? This is my pc at the moment I have another fan under the red led one.

Yes that's what I meant, a fan pushing air in from the bottom.. I guess that one is sucking air out though?

Yeah so I have turned the fans at the bottom to pull air in and turned the back fan to also pull air in to h100 are pushing air out
