Hey all.
I've managed to source a rather big heater matrix for my watercooling rig. Now i would like to know what the configuration for maximum cooling. Currently I have my rad outside of my case as its simply to big to go inside. I have two high powered 120 ys-tech fans both on one side shrouded sucking air thru. (Some pics shown below) Now I'm pretty happy with this set up - but does anyone think it's better to have one sucking and one blowing ? Has anyone had similar experiences to this - I may add extra fans !?!
My second question is to do with the fan shroud - it's a custom job by my goodself. Both fans sit ontop sucking air thru - is it better to have a central devide to seperater each fans sucking area and to stop cross-turbulance occuring ?
Any suggestions as to how i can make this more efficent is appricated.
I dont plan on leaving the rad in its current state - the lego blocks are just temp. which ever solution i take on the rad it will be put on its side because of the in and out lets - so they will be facing down - so i cant shorten the tubing.
Cheers
