2 Fans on a Rad (Sandwich)

timellis · 04-11-2004, 08:55 AM

In order to get my rad to fit, I have put a 120mm fan on the front of my rad & attached it to the 120mm blow hole in the front of the case - woud another fan attached to the rad at the rear, like a sandwich - Fan/Rad/Fan - be more efficient (i.e. increased air flow thru the rad) be OK?

That's actually the recommended setup for radiators.

Also if you can, try using a couple of shrouds instead of installing them right onto the Radiator (it helps reduce dead spots not getting any air from the hubs of the fans)

its better to have both fans on the same side if your going to bother with doubling up fans. pulling air is also better than pushing.
