Corsair H110 - Can I have one fan as exhaust and one as intake?

[fofogogo23]

Hi,

Yesterday, while putting together my first PC I foolishly forgot to check if the fans were exhaust or intake when I assembled my Corsair H110.

Now, I have one of the H110 fans above the radiator intaking, and the other exhausting right next to it.

Removing the H110 rad and reconfiguring the fans would take a while and be very tedious so I was wondering if there was any harm in having the two fans facing different directions.

Thanks.

It may be less effective since the purpose of the fans is to exhaust heat from the radiator. What are your temps? (idle & load)

I think it may cause it to run a lot hotter than if the fans were facing the same way, because now you have an air loop where the same air is going through the radiator in a circle. The hotter the radiator gets, the hotter the air running through it will get. It might not be bad enough to give you unacceptable temperatures, but it will most likely end up being louder now as the fans speed up to handle the heat.
