Im getting a H440 Razer Edition with a H100i. What should i do with fan setup and fan configuration?
Push or Pull or Push/Pull
Noctua or SP120's
Will a Push/Pull setup even work in the H440 and will there be a temp difference? Im getting a I7 4790K and will be doing Mild-Heavy Overclocking (4.7-5.0GHZ Turbo)
 
I usually do push/pull but my main reason to respond to your message is that i purchased an H100i and you need to be aware to be careful with the power connectors for the fans to the motherboard. Both of mine came apart and one of the backs on the plug was missing out of the package. I took it back to the local computer store and picked up the NZXT Kraken X61 and haven't looked back.

I'm running an X99 system with a 5930k cpu and I avg 30-32c idle and 55~64c while encoding blu ray files into MKV H.265 format. Just be sure to replace the factory thermal paste as the factory thermal paste was allowing my cpu to hit extremely unacceptable temps while encoding.

The overall build of the H100i cooler looked great but the fan power cable connectors coming apart so easily made me think I didn't want to deal with them coming apart and having to RMA and wait for shipping (avg 2 weeks).

Others may have a different experience but that quality issue was enough for me and I have the old h100 on my old system and honestly the quality on that unit seemed better as far as the wiring goes.

So the H100 sereis are bad? How about the H110I GTX? I will buy it and a Fractal Design Define R5
