H100i GTX Fan Positioning.

[_Pulse_]

Hello, recently I purchased a H100i GTX liquid cpu cooler.

I was wondering what sort of temp difference there is from mounting the fans on the bottom (Closer to the motherboard). As opposed to mounting the fans on top of the radiator.

Fans on the bottom:

Fans on the top:

Or can you do two fans on both sides like this?:

My case is a Noctis 450 if you were wondering. And my cpu is a 6600k i5 Skylake.

Sorry if it sounds a little confusing.

The difference, for temps, is next to nothing when comparing push vs pull, and push+pull is only a couple degrees cooler.
Push+pull allows you to run the fans at a lower rpm to achieve the same cooling performance as push or pull.
I would just stick to either push or pull, my personal preference is push.

The 1st image shows the fans installed backwards .... you want the fans blowing into the case.

The 2nd image I can't see the fans

The 3rd image same thing

1. You get about 21% more air on average with pull / pull

2. Pull is generally superior up to about 1650 rpm / Push gets batter about 1850 rpm. In between it's a tossup.

3. Install the fans as per Corsair's written instructions.... blowing air into the case.
