H 80i Push/Push configure

[The8Rock]

Hi, I have a Cosair H80i water cooler and it is setup in a push pull configure but the pull fan is making alot of noise i have tested the fan and works perfectly, so i am wondering if it is a bad idea to do a push push setup onto the radiator? The pulling of the air through the radiator is what is making the noise.

My personal experience-
I got my H80i fitted by someone who had as much knowledge about liquid cooling as me (read:nil).For days I spent a lot of time looking for solutions to reduce temperatures,for an FX 8350 at stock settings.Finally I chanced upon a Push-Pull setup picture.In a minute I knew where the problem was.I was running push-push,not push-pull.Even though everyone says there's not much difference,my CPU's temperatures and the noise produced by those Corsair fans went down by a BIG margin when I switched to push-pull.
You could try it on your own and see the results.Best of Luck!

I have a FX 8150 i am not to bothered about the tempreture because 1 or 2 degrees wont make that much of a difference. I am already running a push pull config and wondering if it will be quieter to change to a push push. It shouldnt be as loud as it is it sounds like a jet engine.

Sorry I ment if it can be run in a push push config or will something go wrong ? Thank you for the reply

Nothing will go wrong,but what's the point of liquid/water cooling if you get higher temperatures,even if they are only slightly higher? How about trying Quiet Mode of the fans in Corsair Link?See if that helps.

As for me and my CPU/H80i setup,my CPU's temperatures did go down after switching to push-pull,but I did reduce my CPU voltage as well (from 1.42[auto] to 1.35).
