Change that immediately!!

The radiator is literally not getting any air flow through the fins.


sorry, i explained this REALLY poorly

there's one fan on each side of the radiator, both fans are pushing air in the same direction, out of the case.

think they should both be reversed, or both fans pushing into the radiator?

That's how Corsair says to configure their AIOs, actually. Front intake.


True. In alot of cases it has a positive effect on cpu temps and close to no negative effect on gpu temps.

Oh the same direction is one push air though while the other is pulling it out.
So you should be doing it correct. Is it something like a h55?

currently have 120mm with both fans pulling

60c idle 98c under load :lol: what a joke

ill try push+pull. i doubt it's going to make that much of a massive difference.

if not then replacing thermal paste.

then if not a 32oz hammer should fix it.


So... You're telling me you have a single 120mm radiator, With the fans both in pull?

So how does that work exactly? Do you have 2x fans on one side of the rad? Or do you have one fan on each side... Countering the other one out lol


If you have two fans, You should always do Push/Pull. With a single fan.. Push is always better.

pulling seems kind dumb

radiator gets warm. you pull air from outside. it heats up passing over radiator then goes inside



Push/pull is how the fan is set up on the radiator, Not the location the rad is mounted. If you have a fan blowing air through a rad, its push. if you have it on the other side of the rad blowing away, its pull.

Pull has no different effect than push. However what the hell is a double pull?

ummm I call bs on video.
I've done this before and NEVER have I seen 10 degrees diff.
Case looks clean also so can't really say its that, just this ain't accurate.

if I had a spare aio i'd totally do it now to show you guys but I'm not ripping apart my rig to do this.
