I have a Corsair H100 (currently sent RMA, but I will get a new one soon). So what are your thought about Push vs Pull?

My only options is to put the Radiator at the bottom of my case (Silverstone Raven RV-02) as in-take because my case doesn't have a 2x 120mm exhaust.

I bought 2 Corsair SP120's for when it's back. What should I do? Push, or Pull configuration.

I like the colored rings, but if I Push the configuration, it will be beneath the radiator and not visible. And if I pull the configuration, it will be with the rings towards the radiator......
So I guess the rings aren't very usefull in my build.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?
 
Pull is best IMO.
Not for any performance reason, but its easier to clean. Dust builds up on the side of the rad the air comes from, so in push it will build up under the fan which requires more effort to clean.
