P180 with PA160..push pull?, 2 fan shrouds?

[nealh]

Hi..I have solved some of my issues ..better temps..:woot:

now it has been suggested the PA160 in pull setup in the P180 maybe better but to do this you need to move the radiator against the front of the case where there will be some blocking of the radiator by the case

so should I place a 2nd shroud on the front case side and then fan/shroud in pull on inside

do you think pull will help decrease temps any???

Well you could possibly do another rad where the back fan is...

Only u can tell us... ;)
However acording to thermochill PA rads are better in a push config.

thanks but if I go to a new rad it would be a dula 120mm and I would tear up the top of my case

more interested in pull and if I need a 2nd shroud in front to create a "tunnel" with 120 front intake site

oh Joebar I did not know that..thanks

yeah. and it aint much difference anyway!

If u go for a pull config definately get a 2nd shroud. However it'll make your case crampier and leave little to no room for the pump.

i wouldnt bother!

btw. does it fit a pa160 down stairs if you remove the hdd cage? or atleast a pa120.1?

[JoeBar]

And put the hdd's where...? :p:
In my opinion the best place to add a 120.1 rad is back ot better up with modding.

only need 1 hdd and i can fit it elsewere!(150GB raptor)
