Push using 2000RPM Blademaster
Ambient Temperature: 23.2
CPU Temperature: 61, 57, 55, 59
Average Core Temperature: 58
Temperature Over Ambient: 34.8
Pull using 2000RPM Blademaster
Ambient Temperature: 23.3
CPU Temperature: 61, 57, 55, 58
Average Core Temperature: 57.75
Temperature Over Ambient: 34.45
-----------------------------------------------------------
So, about 0.4C difference.
But there's also this:
Push/Pull using CM 2000RPM Blademasters (without a rear fan)
Ambient Temperature: 23.0
CPU Temperature: 59, 56, 55, 56
Average Core Temperature: 56.5
Temperature Over Ambient: 33.5
Push/pull is 0.95C below pull.

Pull > Push/Pull > Push
Really? I would expect a linear progression with a change of prop. There's only a single data point for each setup though.
Unrelated, were these fans chosen for different . . . . blowing techniques? That might explain the change in preferred setup.
I'm also wondering what that rear fan was doing that the temp was higher for w/o
I'm going to have to read that thread now. Damn
😛
For Abdallahmgz: The temperature differences are small enough that unless you're really pushing your OC it should not affect your system.
And if you are pushing your system that hard you may want to consider water cooling.
Edit:
From that thread:
Those pull fan results are very very interesting -- quite the opposite of other heatsinks. And you had consistent results: both fans produced better cooling on pull alone than with push/pull or push alone.
I'm missing something, aren't I.
