radiator cooling

[_Will_]

ok...i've mounted my "big mama" radiator on the top of my case...with dual 120mm's on top (85 running at around 50CFM)

what im wondering is...should i "suck or blow"....i don't exactly want a bunch of recycled air blowing out over it....but at the same time....i don't want to combat the natural hot air rises rule and raise overall component temps

how about ducts?....seal around the whole radiator and keep separate from the case....have air flowing in from a duct and out the top?

anyone have some good ideas about how i could optimize this mofo?

I have read that ducting works good and will lower your temps a good 5c

+you wont have all that hot air in your case


but if you dont want to do the duct I have found your case temps never realy go up more thin 3c if you suck air though the radiator into the case.
