AIO Water Cooler - Pull air into case or exhaust air out of case

Not how I read it.

Well then why does the graphic have airflow out?

See below - this is how I have it - intake at the front across the rad fans to to exhaust fan - results in the rad fans picking up the cool air and in effect 4 exhausts (in my case 2 but you get the point.)

Yea could be clearer. You will notice in my instructions they dropped the big arrows showing air being drawn from case.

Thanks for posting. NavyLCDR also mentioned that pushing through rad was a challenge to mount. I've be rolling my case in some unnatural orientations to make the installtion of the new case fans easier.

They are now installed.

I use a pull configuration due to the nature of my case. I use a Cooler Master HAF 912+ with a 240mm Cooler Master Seidon AIO kit. I used to use a push pull configuration, but mounting the fans on the push side of the radiator inside the case was very problematic as you can see by the attached picture:



The fan's corner had to be cut to accommodate the MB's heat sinks and the resulting mess looks something like this:



Not exactly beautiful, but what the heck? I'm getting a new system in a week or so and I will retain the AIO, but after reading this thread I'm going to change to a push configuration with the fans still mounted on the outside of the case. Pulling cool air from outside and passing through the rad into the case and then out the exhaust in the back. My FX-8350 Idles at about 31C in a 21C room and never gets above 50C so we'll see if I can drop the temps any more by drawing cool air from outside of the case.

I don't get it? why you pumping warm air into the case?

Actually, the fans blow the air out of the case through the rad. Since I removed the two fans on the inside of the case, the configuration I have is now pulling the air out of the case through the rad.

So actually, despite what I had said earlier (which was wrong), I am pumping hot air out of the case.

OK cool (get the pun?).. don't be mislead by the guru's and their stars and stuff... make your own mind up!

Thats how I setup my corsair fans on top of my case, I pump the warm air OUT of the case ....thru the radiator
Also have two fans on the back side of the case blowing out ... all my other fans blow IN I have 8 fans total All 140's except for one 120.
