Fan Setup

[Formular VI]

Corsair AF 120, SP 120, AF 140. Case NZXT Switch 810.
Watercooled CPU, GPU, Motherboard & Chipset.

2 Rads.
1X 240 at the Bottom +2 fans ( in take, inside case on top of the Rad),
1X 360 at the Top + 3 fans ( Exhaust ).
Plus 1 fan AF 120 intake at the Front of the case.

Considering that the Rad (360) at the top ( inside case) is going to have the fans above, in top (Outside Case under the grill cover) pulling through the rad underneath to exhaust. Which is going to be the better combination of SP, AF ?

Obviously AF for intake and case airflow. But what is going to better as pull exhaust at the top of the case? And do I consider the 240 Rad at the bottom as intake (AF) when the fans are sitting on top of the Rad inside the case?

SP fans for rads, AF fans for no rads. In other words, if your fans are pushing or pulling against an obstruction like a radiator, use the SPs. If they are just moving air, use AFs.

Also, push gives better performance than pull so consider fitting the fans under the radiators pushing air up.

Thanks for the reply, makes sense. Just was not sure about pulling. I will think about changing to Push. Im going to be using Black Ice rads and was told there is no real advantages to be doing push - pull with these rads. Thanks again for making it clear.
cheers

I was looking at the SP fans, in regards to any dust filters on my intakes and hard drive bays obstructing air flow etc...
