Corsair H60

[tech savvy]

I got a quick question.

I have a Corsair H60 with 2 fans (push/pull config) in a Corsair 650D case with 2x200mm fans, one in the front pulling air in, one on top pushing air out. Now my question is, what is the best cooling method for my push/pull config, blowing out the back, or pulling the air in from the back?

Right now it's blowing out the back. At 4.5GHz idle, it sets at around 34-36c using EVGA Frostbite thermal paste. The reason I asking this cause maybe I can drop it 2-3c more with just a switch of the fans.

only way id say to look, is take some sort of smoke machine, and see which way the airflow goes...whichever way the airflow seems to move most, id put your cooler there, but honestly, i think regardless the only thing holding you back with the h60 is the surface area of the radiator and static pressure of the fans, the stock fans for the h series have excellent static pressure.

Good point, have to try that, ty.
