Push Pull

[Pilot53]

Is there any modding required to set up a push pull rad fan config, ie. is the bottom of the rad the same as the top as far as screws and mounting possibilities? I am considering going for the new black ice gtx 480 and putting 8 130cfm delta fans on it.

there is no difference. IMO, that setup is overkill.

Possibly, but I was just asking how to set it up, even if i decide to go with a pa120.2 i would still have push/pull fans.

people overkill the rad alot....


edit: i run a bip3 w/ 3 5volted yate loon slows and my loop stays chilly

you COULD do it... There are m4 taps on both sides.

Where the hell are you mounting that radiator?

deltas tend to be high pressure fans, 4 should do it
if you are using quiet fans(yate loons) push pull may work better on a high fin-per-inch rad

Im mounting on top of the case, but now im thinking the 360 might do the job good enough, maybe that will better for me also because the themochill's are designed for low cfm fans, since I plan to run 780cfm through the rad the bi might work as well as a pa120.3.

Man... is this case going to be right beside you? haha.


Anyways, yeah, with that many CFM's a BIP 240, or 360 would be just as good as a PA series radiator.

And a 360 has a place on both sides to mount fans push/pull?

 

[Bio-Hazard]

All radiators that I know of have fan mounts on both sides, doesn't matter what brand or size.

Ok thats good.
