Is push pull even worth it?

Hello!

I am building a water cooled mini itx system in a new case coming out. It will have an overclocked 6600k and a gtx 1070.

Those will both be on a loop - I have one 240mm radiator at 60mm in thickness. I wanted to know if it is worth doing a push pull config with notcua fans.

Thanks, have a great day!

Hello!

That depends....if you are water cooling your system then all you need to do is cool your reservoirs and I expect your PC will be cool enough, it wouldn't hurt to have a push pull config though as well so then you can reduce the temperature inside the case as well, not just the components.
 


The case doesn't support case fans. There are only ventilation holes and a spot to mount a radiator with a maximum thickness of 60mm. I was just wondering if having a push pull will be better than just pull configuration.
 


In that case yes, push pull would be better than just push, because more airflow will be generated using a push pull config, that's what I use for my OC processor.
 


So will my configuration be able to handle an OC 6600k and a 1070? These will both be on the same loop as said.
 


Providing all components can fit in the case and you have water cooled them completely then theoretically yes, your config will be fine.
