Corsair H50

Yes, listen to PewPew, since he has one and all.

Unless you're going to turn your front fans into exhaust, do push / pull. Otherwise you're totally messing up the airflow that your case was designed around.

Hey now, that was unnecessary.

lol you don't think i thought of that when i heard it??? maybe you should look it up yourself, they tell you to make it an intake fan.....im not an idiot, i know it totally disrupts airflow but the reason being its better and apparantly gets better performance is because its bringing in the outside air through the radiator which is cooler than the air inside your case which has been heated up by all your components....of course the typical design on all other models out there are to make the fan exhaust but Corsair tells you to make it an intake on this one

"Corsair recommends that the fan be oriented as an intake to keep the coolest air flowing over the radiator fins, which makes a certain amount of sense."

i don't need one to know wat im talking about, you can find this information all over the web.......you learn even more from the web sometimes than from just having one, there are people out there that know a ton more than we do.

As for your fan configuration.........it honestly doesn't matter to me, you can keep it as an exhaust so you don't disrupt airflow in your case or you could follow corsair, either way it doesn't matter, its all up to you....im just throwing the extra option out there because it was recommended by Corsair to make it an intake and all review sites made it an intake and stated that corsair recommended it while some benchmarks even show the intake outperforming the exhaust. If your temps are fine the way they are and your satisfied with them, then by all means leave it that way.

No offense Putty, but I trust PewPew more.
He's been in here longer than I have, and he knows what he's talking about.
You might, too, but you're new and are a little demanding of respect.

And I might do the push/pull.

ive been thinking about doing the push pull but i watch my temp on my other monitor in game and out of game and they seem good enough for me..

underload about 35c and idle 25-27 Celsius and im only over clocking to 3.00GHz from stock 2.66GHz

It looks pretty good how is it running?

It is running quite amazingly.
I haven't got a chance to actually stress it yet, my OC has stayed at 3.5GHz.
I'll try to push it more tomorrow.
