Case Fan Orientation...

[crazylegs]

OK... so this is going to sound really dumb... if i add a case fan(s) to the back of my case (near PSU/ CPU/ GPU) should it:

a) Blow air in

b) Blow air out


Then, if i have 2 fans hould they:

a) Both Blow air in

b) Both Blow air out

c) 1 Blowing in 1 blowing out

Thanks All !!

#1 -- b. Becasue these components generate heat, and you want to get the heat out of your case.

#2 -- Depends where you put the fans. In most cases (not pun intended), you want air to come in from the front, through the case, and exit the back and / or top...

Do I get a cookie for answer? Or atleast a "Have you helped a n00b today?" t-shirt?

Google internal air flow. Several decent sites will be on the first page.

http://www.heatsink-guide.com/ > case cooling. The articles are not tech heavy at this
site. Bookmark it and do a little reading/homework.

We all have to do our homework

I want a ballcap, no t-shirt for me.
