Planning my first custom loop

Does it matter which side of the radiator the fans are? I suspect my top rad will need the fans against the chassis for a little extra clearance.

I prefer push over pull
But in some pc cases you have no choice
And probably not a huge difference

Might make a small difference to temps.

Makes a bigger difference to convenience of cleaning - if air is pulled through the radiator, then the grilles catch the dust and can be hoovered clean. Way easier than removing fans to clean the internal radiator surface.
