Push/Pull worth it?

[On Holiday]

I currently have the Corsair H100 (no noise!) and planning to get either the Corsair 650D or Corsair 800D.

Siding towards the 650D due to it being £100 cheaper nearly, but can't fit push/pull in it.

So I'm left wondering is there any real difference between running just two fans on the bottom pushing the air through rad and having push/pull config?

my 650d push pull

800D push pull

Push/pull on the H100 made no real difference

I run push/pull on my Antec 620 thing, can't say using one fan made a noticeable difference to temps, but I had a spare fan to use to left it on! A single fan will be absolutely fine

I don't think its really worth it if you have to buy extra fans for it. I think its better just to get a good high quality fan like a gentle typhoon. Perhaps it is more worth it for the extra thick radiators.

The 700d is the perfect compromise if the 800d is too expensive. Same size as the 800d

push pull is pretty pointless. I have ran rad fans in push, pull and push/Pull and found that having them in push or pull works the best with push/Pull making no difference to temps

+1 - To get good CPU temps its a combination of good air flow through your case and CPU cooler[air or water] by having the right fans to do the job.

Push/pull made a fair difference on my H80, but that's thicker than a H100.

no push pull is never worth it imo, you're better to go for quieter fans and sacrifice a couple of degrees, than to go for push pull and have it 9 times out of ten being noticeably louder

It's definitely not worth the cost of the extra fans.
