hello im making a new gaming rig in a corsair 500r case.
but i was wondering that will i need a extra 2 fans for liquid cpu cooling (h100i) need help please
And i have one more question. I saw a video on linustechtips that says use push fans in the cpu cooling radiator (for me its in top i gues ,isn't it the best place?) so i think he mean that the air must go out from that fans am i right and if im right how could the cpu cooler gets cooler ? (sorry for bad english but i hope you understand me )
 
Solution
You shouldn't. The h100i comes with two fans attached to the radiator, just make sure the radiator is set to exhaust (not intake). That is to say make sure the radiator is facing out and pushing air out of the case.

I would make sure to offset the extra exhaust by turning the intake fans in the front of the case on high. You should have at least two fans on high bringing air in.

But if i make it exhaust how could the liquid cooled in that cpu cooler?

 


The liquid doesn't cool, it removes heat. Heat removed from the cpu is absorbed into the liquid, and sent through the radiator to release heat into the outside air.

In chemistry heat always travels to cold.

In other words heat goes from your CPU to the liquid inside the heatsink to the radiator, to the air.

The fans are on the radiator blow heat from the radiator outside the case... The heat is transferred to the air in the process.

If you aim the fans in, it blows heat from the radiator to the INSIDE of your case - which is bad.

 


And my last question sorry for disturbing. Ok i will do ?t exhaust but in a push system the dust wıll stuck in the raidator but pull exhaust wont maeke ıt stuck in it (whatched in linustechtips) what should i do for raidator,push from inside or pull from outside
 


Well most people install closed-loop radiators on the inside of their case, largely for aesthetic reasons and because cases are designed for it. Which side of the radiator you mount the fans on is less critical. I imaging a pull scenario with fans exhausting to the outside would be the best.

Either way you should dust the radiator off once in a while with either compressed air or a vacuum type air blower (metro datavac for instance), just like every other component in your CPU. When you do this don't forget to prevent the fans from spinning while you are dusting..
