Default Re: Fan Belt Speed (pulley ratios)

The question is can anyone tell me since the belt sits lower in all of the pulleys is the fan speed unchanged, faster or slower?

I do have an over heating problem which I think is actually a new (used) radiator but the fan speed question bugs me.

Thanks
It must be rubbing the radiator outlet hose, there is no way it could
rub the inlet hose. Have you tried a shorter belt?
