Corsair H110i GT, Push, Pull or Push And Pull ?

[Dicehunter]

Replacing my H100i with the H110i GT as I love the looks of it and the bigger fan usage but was wondering in general which is better, Push, Pull or push and pull ?

Keep things consistent, so either push or pull.

As to what's better, how long is a piece of string? There's no real right or wrong answer, factors which may steer you are the case and existing fans that are being used.

I've used both over the years in a variety of cases, the difference really is non-existent.

Push-Pull will generally produce higher performance, but you'll have to pay close attention to the amount of dust you build up. All three options will trap dust between fan and rad, but the Push fans will trap a load more.

As mentioned, there's no difference between Push only or Pull only, except that again Push traps more dust.

If you're going Push-Pull, you either want the same fans either side and set to the same RPM, or slower fans Pushing toward faster ones in Pull. Doing it the other way around mucks up the airflow and can damage both sets of fans.

I'm personally just using Pull at the moment.

Ok thanks for the answers

Last question.

When using the fans in a pull position, Which fan type would be better, Static pressure or airflow orientated ?

For any fan on a radiator, Static Pressure is typically the best. They're designed to force air through restrictive spaces like radiators and HDD cages.

Some Airflow fans are actually better than lower quality SP ones, but in general if you look toward the decent stuff your SPs will be the ones of choice.

My faves:
Noctua NF-F range
Corsair SP (not the Quiet Edition)
Blacknoise NB eLoops
EK Varder
