Hi,
When looking at the configuration of my new Tower, I noticed that the builder placed the 2 x exhaust fans at the top of the case, with the radiator bellow.
I thought best practice was to have the fans bellow the radiator so it pushes air through the radiator opposed to sucking air through it. Alternatively, people appear to place the radiator after the intake fans, but I haven't seen any builds configured like my PC, so wanted to check that someone hasn't made a mistake.
As building PC`s is PCS`s core business, maybe there is a good reason for this configuration, so I thought I would I ask the question
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Andrew
