I recently built a pc and realized I’m actually doing a push/push radiator.
I am using a kraken z73 360mm. Let me make sure I’m clear. I’m pulling fresh air from the front of the case push it through , and didn’t really think when I installed my Corsair fans on the other side of the radiator that it’s actually sucking case air into the radiator. This would be considered a push/push right?t really be unheard of I imagine. I didn’t want rgb fans in the front of the case, I really only wanted them inside on the other side of the radiator which was the reason it was a push push. I never considered the push/push when doing this though. I recently changed to the standard push/pull but now my RGB on the radiator is gone. Would doing a push push harm my pc in any way?Thoughts?
I did check temps form startup and immediately I see about a 10-12 degree difference (significant i would say?) which also showed running cinebench on my cpu and gpu, bittersweet. I guess I can move the rgb Corsair fans to the front of the case and use the NZXT for the other side of the radiator. Drawback to that is I believe and would imagine the nzxt are static pressure fans whereas the Corsair aren’t. Not worth the hassle really. Although both temps are acceptable the new method I’m using is certainly more ideal. The cpu is in the mid to high 20's idle which is nuts.
