Hi
I am going to have a setup with a Procore in the front of my case and two 120mm fans in a push n pull config. Now my question is which way should the air be going? The air going into my case or out?
 
With the rad in the front of the case, have the air going in. Not only does the rad get cool ambient air, but you preserve the normal front-to-back/bottom-to-top airflow inside your case, keeping all the other parts cool too.
 
Thanks for responding so soon

Also what would cool better: a push n pull config with two 60CFM fans or 1 big high CFM fan that moves say 80cfm? I am trying to find the perfect balance between noise and performance.

Would there be a decent amount of increase in performance?
 
No easy answer I'm afraid. It depends on the fans, and how their air flow changes with repect to the static backpressure.

Generally though, push-pull will get you a given amount of airflow with a little less noise. Just make sure you use a fan shroud that holds the fans an inch or two from the rad.
 
Does anyone know if the D-Tek's Pro-120 Hi Performance Radiator supports dual fans and dual fan shrouds?

Also, is Teflon Tape really necessary to buy?


Heh i think i should change this thread to quick questions (plural :D )
 
Dunno. But, if it isn't made for dual shrouds, modifiy it. It's not too hard to make a shroud: cardboard and tape is easy/ugly, fiberglass and epoxy is tougher/prettier, sheet metal and pop-rivets is hard/cool.

Don't use teflon tape. The threads can chop it up as you screw stuff together, strands of it running through your system would suck. Look for thread-sealant paste, known among plumbers as 'pipe-dope'. Safer, seals better, can be a mess if you ain't careful.
