I got a LGA775 P4 3.4 Preshott and I want to bring down my Temps. I've been looking in to the Big Water Cooling kit from Thermaltake. Big Water
Now I want to mount this on the inside, but my case My Case does not have proper 120mm 92mm or 80mm fan mount on the back if the case. It has some stupid plastic clip for a 120mm fan. I've been thinking a while for a solution and I came up with I'll just mount the radiator to the 120mm fan on the clip. Now my question is fan sucking air through a radiator as effective as a fan blowing air through a radiator? If any one else has some installation advice or kit advice please let me know.
 
most people say pull is better then push but i find there is little diffrence the lack of a shroud will limit the airflow but since the big water doesn't have one anyway there is no real loss

you might want to drill the proper sized holes for the Radiator in the case. the radiator is a lot heavier then just a 120mm fan alone
 
I've owned the Bigwater Kit and would say that it is a decent beginner watercooling kit. I would have to say that it will not bring down your temps dramatically versus a high end heatsink and good fan.

I would say this kit is good for someone who wants to reduce the noise output from their cooling solution. I would recommend spending a little more and getting the swiftech kit which would provide you better temps and also they have a bracket that allows you to mount the radiator outside versus inside the case.

Swiftech Rev.3 Kit
