it comes down to the direction of the air flow IMO

as wytnyt has said, air must be pushed, so if the rad/fans are used as an exhaust the fans are mounted bottom side to push air out of the case,

if the rad/fans are used as intake, the fans are mounted top side to pull air in and push it through the rad

 

hope that was clear enough to help a bit

it depends on the type of hardware your running that generates heat but either way,air must be pushed not pulled thru the radiator....

 

I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter at all.

Either you push or pull, the same amount of air get's through the radiator.

 

I'm also running pull on my H105, works great!;):

sorry but it is a well known documented fact among most users that you should push air thru the rad for optimum cooling.

all fans push better than they can pull...

Here's my little fun rig. I hit 5.0 Ghz last night for a few hours on Aida 64 full stress test before backing it back down to 4.8 for daily, Real temp said 40-50* left before TJMAX. I'll be changing from the vengeance blue ram to the vengeance pro ram.

 

It's quieter than your average blu-ray player, it had to be since it's my HTPC :)
