Default Re: Best Routing Method for this Set Up

4) Will intake from the PA160 have any effect on overal system temps and possibly hurt performance since the 120.2 is pulling air out of the system?
1.) Pump is good.
2.) Hard to tell...pump>rad is best, but advantage may be less than the longer loop to accomplish.
3.) Don't understand?
4.) Why not have both rads exhaust...and add an intake fan? Or add a fan to the single 120 (if it doesn;t already have one) and duct it outside the case?
