    Black Ice GTX Xtreme 480 Radiator for CPU or video cards?

    Just ordered the following parts and should arrive tomorrow:
    2x Danger Den DD-GTX480 VGA Full Card Liquid Cooling Block - Satin Copper Version (GPU-6900-SS)

    Swiftech MCB-120™ Revision 2 "Radbox" Radiator/Fan Housing - Black 1

    1x Black Ice GTX Xtreme 480 Radiator - Black

    4x Panaflo M1-BX 120mm Fan w/ RPM Sensor (FBA12G12M-BX)

    1.Should I use the GTX Extreme 480 rad for my cpu or my GTX 480 VID cards?
    2.Should I use the pull or push configuration on the fans?

    The rest of my loop is on my sig.

    Thanks for the advice

    The 480's if you want good (better) temps. 360 should be enough for the CPU.

    If u want the best temps possible yes push/pull will help .. Cant find the chart but it can help from up to 6c which is alot if you ask me

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    From Martin, you'll want to use those 38mm fans in push orientation

    Your best bet is to test it out, I usually use Push as i think pushing cold air through the rad generally gives better temps, but alot of people say pulling the air through the case yields better performance, really depends which rad your using and where its mounted, ur best bet try both out mate.. im saying push though

    Since it will be mounted outside the case, I will try push first.
