Water cooling radiator question
I'm somewhat new to the water cooling business, but which way should I have my 40mm fan going on my cpu radiator?
Venting hot air OUT, or venting cool air inside?

Matt2488,
I'm having a hard time believing that any water cooler radiator would have a 40mm fan attached, did you mean 140mm? Where in the case is the radiator/fan located? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck !

At the top left of the case, it came with a 140mm fan that's what I meant. The 140mm fan is at the top rear exhaust.
I cleaned it out recently and forgot which way the fan was venting air, out or in. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom

Most all fans have a fan spin direction and air flow direction arrow. You should have this set up drawing air from the case and exhausting through the radiator out the back of the case. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck !

If you want you can also run dual fans in what we call a push/pull configuration. This is what I run on my H50 with super silent Noctua fans but I'm exhausting through a top mounted location....only difference. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck !

Yeah I don't have screws long enough to do that, but if I could I would probably do that. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom

Easy purchase at any local hardware store.....I went to Ace so I didn't have to by some pre-packaged 15 pack at the Depot. Hydro Series
Under FAQ's & Support look down the page and see the Push/Pull fan configuration. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck !
