This was not an article i was ever planning to do.
Water cooling radiator placement.
You just want to make sure it has the right amount of tightness so the system s heat is transferred properly to the radiator for cooling.
Static pressure fans are designed to pull or push air with extra force which is ideal for areas with more restricted airflow like a water cooling radiator or a large cpu cooler with lots of fins.
Liquid cooling to briefly summarize how liquid cooling works liquid commonly water based is pushed through a series of tubes blocks and radiators by a pump in order to transfer heat from components such as a gpu or cpu to the air outside of a computer chassis more efficiently than a standard air cooling system.
I always assumed that radiator placement made little difference to internal temperatures i even backed up my thoughts on this by checking out a few youtube videos.
This includes measuring how much a front radiator might reduce cpu temperatures at risk of raising gpu temperatures or how a top mount might do the opposite.
Today we address the subject of push pull push pull fan setups and how they affect different radiators and performance.
Wasn t thinking that it would be significant but don t have the background to know if a rad that is 10c hotter a large number than ambient air would add much impetus to the air being moved through it.
Placement of the fans.
Water cooling systems.
In the very least we can look at liquid cooler placement performance in a few different cases.
All fans will be configured to 100 in our testing.
We hope to help you decide what kind of setup is right for you and to show the benefits of each.
An aircraft radiator contained in a duct heats the air passing through causing the air to expand and gain velocity.
Aio radiator placement does it matter.
We continue our guides that show differences in radiator performance depending on the speed of the fans thickness and fpi of radiators etc.
