I don't understand how that works. A radiator is a heat exchange: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator. The air must be hot when it enters the case. I've seen other people with fans blowing into the case, too?

No, the air blowing through the radiator comes colder into the case. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's tested and true. I originally was going to do a pull configuration until I did some reading and the tests show that a push was better for air temps. I've put my hand under the radiator to feel and the air was nice and cool coming through. I wish I knew the technical aspects of it, but I don't lol

looks like your experience is lacking... The CM 690 ii Advanced is by far the BEST case for the money, and in the watercooling field, it's fantastic!
