pull is bad?

So my impression is that for rads you either are supposed to push or push pull.

Because the screws need washers I ended up installin 2 120mm fans with 4 fan screws to case, the 4 M3 screws to rad and it is pushin air up(pull).

in IDLE the fan speed is 640rpm, LOAD it is 750rpm.

My 965 be 1.45v 200x19 gets to 57c after 11 intel burn test runs and it even might go higher.

This is similar to my Mugen 2 push pull, so it is equal to high end push pull air so I still think it's OK.

 With the fans turned down your temps are going to be higher than they would if you had them turned up full. So with two fans on your Mugen running at full speed the temps are going to be lower than having your fans on low on your rad. Plus your rad is only 47mm thick so it needs the fans set higher to maintain better temps.

The speeds you are running your fans at are what full 60mm thik rads are designed for, with slimer rads you need the fans set higher, between 800rpm and 1200rpm+.

But it only reaches 57c at most during 11 intel burn tests, this is wery similar to my Mugen push pull, obviously I could run it for 20 runs and make comparison to the mugen which I logged for 20 runs prior to watercooling install.

is there any danger for watercooling components, I would imagine the radiator or laing D5 pump might overheat with time?

I think the D5 is specified for 60c at most?

As long as you have good airflow in your case the pump and everything else should be ok.

Makes sense, I think I'll run 1.2875v and stock speed for now as I would rather have low 50's instead of high 50's.

so I have a strong feeling a thin 240 + 360 rad even at only 500-800rpm will be enough for a 125w cpu + 7970.
