Is push pull even worth it?
Is push pull even worth it?
Hello!
I'm designing a water-cooled mini ITX system with a new case. It will include an overclocked 6600K and a GTX 1070, both running in a loop. I have a 240mm radiator with 60mm thickness. I'm wondering if using a push-pull configuration with notcua fans would be beneficial.
Best regards,
Have a great day!

Hello!
The answer varies... if your system uses water cooling, you mainly need to manage the reservoirs and I think your PC will stay adequately cooled. A push-pull setup could also work well, allowing you to lower the internal temperature further, not just for components but for the whole case.
The case doesn’t have built-in fans; it only has ventilation openings and a small area for attaching a radiator up to 60mm thick. I’m curious whether a push-pull configuration would perform better than a pull-only one.
Yes, in my experience, a push-pull setup provides better airflow, which is why I prefer it for my OC processor.
So, will your setup be able to...
Hello!
That depends... if you're using water cooling, you just need to cool the reservoirs, and your PC should stay cool enough. A push-pull setup could be useful too, allowing you to lower the internal temperature beyond just the components.

It really depends... if your system uses water cooling, you just need to manage the reservoirs and I think your PC will stay cool enough. A push-pull setup could also work well, allowing you to lower the internal temperature as needed, not just the parts.
The case doesn't have built-in fans; it only has ventilation openings and a small area for attaching a radiator up to 60mm thick. I was curious about whether a push-pull would be better than a pull-style configuration.

It really depends... if your system uses water cooling, you just need to manage the reservoirs and I think your PC will stay adequately cooled. A push-pull setup could also help, allowing you to lower the internal temperature more effectively, not only for the parts but also for the case itself. The case doesn't have space for fans, just a few ventilation openings and a radiator mount area up to 60mm thick. I was curious whether a push-pull configuration would outperform a pull-only one.
Yes, in my experience, a push-pull setup is better because it creates more airflow, which is why I use it for my OC processor.

Hello!
It really depends... if your system uses water cooling, you just need to focus on cooling the reservoirs. I think it's fine to keep your PC cool, and a push-pull setup could help too, allowing you to lower the internal temperature as well. The case doesn't have built-in fans; it only has ventilation openings and a small spot for a radiator up to 60mm thick. I was curious whether a push-pull configuration would be superior to a pull-only one.
Yes, a push-pull setup would likely perform better because it creates more airflow, which is important for my OC processor.
So, can your setup support running an OC 6600k and a 1070 together? They should work well in the same loop as described.

If you're planning to run an OC 6600k and a 1070 together, it should be possible as long as everything fits and is fully water-cooled.
