Double or Single Fans on Rad?!?!?!

Nikojo · 10-26-2001, 11:55 PM

Is there a significant differance in cooling by adding a second fan to a radiator...one to push and one to pull??

Both fans would be shrouded...

I am new to this so I don't know most basic question of whether single fan setup should push or pull for optimum performance??

this may give you a difference. If you use low power fans and/or a radiator with little space between fins, it will give you a small CFM increase. This will generally not be worth the effort...
I would suggest have fan(s) on one side pushing and that will do nicely.
