By using a funnel like this, will the push fan get better airflow because of the pull fan?
If so, would performance be increased? Cause the air being pull is warm air.

Nope its not going to help at all. Will worsen temps since your rad will end up circulating hot air only.

Your better off having that be an exhaust fan because heat rises and that will help cool the whole system even though your water loop will be a tab bit warmer (Not noticeable enough to matter though)

I think you would get worse performance doing this.

That looks like a terrible idea. smile.gif Like chip94 said you'll probably just end up circulating hot air.

Ugh. All of this "heat rises" nonsense is starting to get really annoying. teaching.gif This argument/rule does not apply to forced-air cooling systems e.g. most PC setups.


Back OTP...you'll usually get better temps if you orient your radiator fans to intake cool(er) air. thumb.gif

Not going to make a difference at all. You may end up making the VRM's run hotten, increasing case temps.

Just run the setup as exhaust(top) and you'll be good.

The funnel will be incased. So nothing outside will be affected. The picture only outlines where it's meant to be

Both top fans must be Exhaust. Rear can/should be intake.
