Correct Orientation For My Tuniq Tower 120

How should I "correctly" orient my Tuniq Tower 120?

Should the fan blow towards my exhaust fan at the back of the case and out
OR
Should the fan blow towards the PSU intake fan at the top of the case and out the back of the PSU
OR
What...???



Thanks a lot,
Cheex.
 
That is what I thought and that is how I have already oriented mine but I've seen a few pictures in which people have used the other orientations so I was really starting to wonder a bit.
 
The orientation of fans on CPU heatsinks (assuming a single fan) is not usually determined by the exhaust, but rather by the intake. In other words, you should mount the fan on your heatsink so that it draws in air from the case's intake. On most cases, that means you mount the fan on the side of the heatsink facing toward the front of the case. On some Lian Li cases that have a rear intake, you mount the fan on the side of the heatsink pointing toward the rear of the case.

Regardless, make sure you mount the fan so that air is being pushed over the heatsink. A "pull" setup is not recommended for most single fan heatsink installations.

Do whatever you want...

With a Tuniq Tower, it doesn't make any difference -=- dittos for the thermal grease!

These things are brutal!

The only thing that makes any difference is the fan speed...

You'll see! 😀

I'd like to disagree, because if you point it at a place where there's no exhaust, the hot air will just be cycled back into the case, where everything will just get hotter.

That's fine, but your argument is academic!

I own two (2) Tuniq Tower 120s and I'm speaking from experience... 😀
