Push-Pull Fan Setup

[craneage2001]

I've noticed my water temps get about 5°C above ambient running only a CPU block (100w of heat). I'm currently running the Chevette HC with a shroud I fabricated out of cold-rolled steel and a 120x38 fan. It's an AC fan I picked up so I'm not sure of the CFMs, but it's respectable...I could easily crank out another shroud. Would a dual 120 fan setup in a push-pull config help me get my water temps down significantly? I would be possible to do space-wise, but it would be a very tight fit for hosing...

From my own personal expiernce with using procores and bixs i have never seen a decrease in temps by adding another fan. The only ways i have seen a decrease in temps is by either adding a shroud or haveing it pull air thru the rad opposed to pushing it thru.

Keep Clocking

it could/should help your temps, but only 1-2C. i also think if you only have 1 fan, pull is a little better than push. (IMO)

I'm currently running a pull-only setup, as pull is usually better.

If you have the room to go with a push/pull setup without ripping your case apart then go for it. The result isn't spectacular... 2-3 at the most...
