Noob Question

Bio-Hazard · 08-13-2004, 07:10 PM

I'm sort of a noob to build a complet custom water cooling system. I've only used a external kit until now. What I'd like to know is, what is the best way to place your fans on the heater core, pulling air through the core or blowing air through the core?...... :shrug: I've modded a GM core and built a shroud with about 1" spacing, I'm using 2 Pannaflo 120mm m fans. I'm looking to get the best out of the system. Thanks for all your input in advance........

This is a pic of how I've got it set up right now.

in 9 times out of 10 pulling air through the heatcore/ rad will give you the best performance. just make sure that your shoud gives a good seal between you fans and heatercore.

I've got it all sealed with foam weather stripping............and the corners of the shroud with silicone just to be safe.................
