Hey, gonna be putting my w/c back in my case and was wondering if its better to have a fan below the radiator or ontop of it blowing air out of the case. Radiator will be mounted on top of the case. Thx

I see, I think i read that it is better to have it below the rad. But then i would need to cut a square into my case top and if i ever decide to quit w/c then i cant fix it. But the other way i can make it into a blowhole later on. So is it that big of a change in temps (generally)? Thx

the differences in temp wont be big, maybe like 1 degree c.

I have my rad at the top of my case and I have fans both under it and above it. Just drill a blow hole the size you want and use the fan screws to mount the rad to the case.

have the fan pull air through the core in whichever orientation that may entail.
