Interweaving push/pull fans

post #1 of 4

Thread Starter 
Has anyone ever tested or tried interweaving fans in a push pull? For example, having 2 fans intake (one on each side of course), 2 fans exhaust, 2 fans intake, etc.

Just wondering. I know this defeats the purpose of a hot rad and a cool rad but wouldn't it average?

it does. it interferes with the inlet/exhausting of the adjacent fan.. noticing the exhaust
streams back into the inlet. kinda like an eddie effect. actually temps rose 4°-8° on a
XSPC RX360:
baseline three exhaust (push - one bank) 48° CPU/GPU loop ambient 24°
baseline three exhaust (push/pull) 43° CPU/GPU loop ambient 23°

two intake one exhaust (push - one bank) 6° warmer
two intake one exhaust (push/pull) 4° warmer
two exhaust one intake (push - one bank) 8° warmer
two exhaust one intake (push/pull) 7° warmer

64 hours testing on e6650 3.7OC w/single GPU in a 800D case.
information i had from 06/2010

was wondering if that was what you were leading to from your other posts.
did a similar run using a thermochill 120.3 with deltas with disaterous results.

glad to have helped.
