Airflow Question......

[gameboyzz]

Hey guys...

I currently have a case like this one....

Case



I just finished hooking up 2 intake 80mm fans, and 2 exhaust 80mm fans. I also have a 80mm fan on the side as seen on the pic. My question is, should that fan be blowing air out of the case or should it be pushing air into the case? How will i get the best airflow?

Thanks in advance..

Nice looking case. Have the side blowing in. Blows in cool air on the mobo and attached components. With an odd number of fans, have the extra one blowing in. That is, one more blowing in than out.

Side Fan blowing in will help to keep the video GPU and the north bridge cooler

If in fact you are Air cooling the Cpu, and Vid, Make sure the side fan isn't a high cfm fan, as if it is, you may end up with Turbulance, which will mess up the cpu/vid fan performance.
