Hi,
I recently bought a Swiftech H220-X. I had the fans in a pull configuration pushing cool air through the radiator from the top of the case with an exhaust fan on the rear of the case pulling the hot air out.
I've recently gone SLI with 980s and they generate considerably more hot air in my case so I decided to reverse the cooler's fans so they are now pulling air from inside the case and exhausting it out the top. This has had the obvious out come as my GPUs are running cooler and my CPU is running a few degrees hotter.
Now my question is does a fans static pressure rating change depending on if it's pushing or pulling? I ask as I plan to change the H220-X's fans for something with a little more oomph and was wondering if there are fan available that are geared specifically toward a pull layout as this is what I'm aiming for?
Thanks,
Paul
