Radiator Fan

[BrianCapps]

I just got a complete water cooling setup. Some various parts, hoses, clamps, etc. Anyhoo, The guy I bought the radiator from included a delta 120mm. Now, I'm curious as to where should I mount this thing? The rad is a DD cooling cube. Should th efan be blowing case air through the fins, or outside air through it?

Thanks for the advice.

well, 2 thoughts.

if you blow the case air into it... it will be hotter air than ambient... however, you need that air out anyway.

if you blow outside air into it, it will just heat up case MORE, and hurt the efficiency of your whole system..

best is to exhaust it out of case.

have it sucking through the radiator, it will be better, mount the radiator under you hd (in the space at the bottem front of the case)
