To get the best air circulation inside the case, the back FAN must blow the AIR inside. The top 4 fans & H100 already are taken care about the heat from the video cards etc. You need to learn how the AIR FLOW CIRCULATION WORK!

[stewie8core]

why would you want the rear exhuast fan blowing in?? all that hot air coming from the 2 x gtx 590"s will be sucked straight back into case the h100 should suck air in from the top/outside and rear exhuast should well exhuast hot air out !!!

@jimbrobb probably not especially not with a push pull config

Hi, will this fit in a CoolerMaster 690 II Basic (Lite) case?

Does the push pull make a lot of difference to cooling?

Thanks.

@AsmarinaOnline Yeah seing the ENTIRE case and knowing all of the fan locations would probably help someone to understand this, as your CPU cooler is no longer requiring internal circulation(its being directly exhausted thru the radiator) and the video cards are NOT taken care of by the top 4 fans, rather they are self exhausting thru the back of the PC the rear fans would indeed suck SOME of the heated air back in, however probably not enuf to make a difference. BTW what computer case is used?

[chrispeeez]

@stewie8core I agree with you :) ...I'd have a 120mm front case fan sucking air in passing cool air over the hdd, m/b & gpu's ...Have a 120mm rear case fan exhausting hot air out. The h100 fans X2 should suck in air NOT out.

i like your pee sea

Thank you for explaining which way the H100 fans are blowing. Many people don't expain that. Corsair, in their video states to intake cooler air from the top and exhaust it out the rear under most situations which goes against the warm air rises principle. Air you concerned about dust intaking from the rear where there is no dust filter? Also, are you operating under positive pressure in your computer?

what temps so you get with this setup under load (prime 95)
