push pull different size fans
push pull different size fans
Hello, I'm using the Corsair 450d case.
I purchased the MCR-H220 but there isn't enough clearance for it to fit at the bottom, so I have to place it in the front.
I prefer having two 140mm LED fans in the front (thermaltake ring).
Is it okay to use two different brands and sizes of fans?
My current loop setup includes the H240x2 with CPU and GPU block.
Radiators don't improve with push, pull, or push/pull methods. This is confirmed. What matters is having air flow over the radiator; the case doesn't move at 60 mph like a car, so a fan is necessary. If the radiator is front-mounted, air must enter the case. Place two LED fans against the front and radiator for better effect; the Swiftech fans on the back can be removed. Keep in mind the Swiftech fans are likely static pressure units, which might affect cooling performance compared to the LED fans. In any case, avoid push/pull methods.

It depends on whether the 140mm fans can generate enough static pressure. If not, they might actually raise your temperatures instead of lowering them.
