Hi,
I was checking what cooler would work best for my i7 4790k aiming for about 4.4ghz. Also, I was considering water coolers with two fans and a radiator. My idea was to place the fans at the front to push air in, one fan at the back to push air out, and the cooler at the top to handle the remaining space. Would this setup raise the CPU temperature? Could pushing hot air from the case into the radiator through the top fans help with overclocking? Thanks!
