Push or Pull or both?

[mykelbuenrostro]

Everyone,
I'm curious, what is the best way to setup water cooling? Push? Pull? or both? How much difference does it make to have either or? I ordered a Corsair h80i water cooler and it comes with push/pull configuration but somewhere I read that it doesn't make that much of a difference whether it's just pull or push/pull.. I need expert advice please.. This is my first ever time attempting water cooling so all advise is welcome.


Not sure if this matters but,

Current setup:

Case: HAF 912
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
CPU: Intel i7-4770k
Memory: Trident X

I orderd a Deepcool Captain 360 which I plan to front mount in a push/pull config (intake) using the stock NZXT H440 fans & the fans that come with the rad.

There's also a 140mm exhaust fan and I'm going to put 3 more 120mm exhaust fans in the top. There will be a total of 10 fans in this case; I'll let you know what I find out in terms of temps.
