Okay, just got my Tbird 800 set nicely into my KT7 with a Chrome Orb on top. Looks nice. It is all placed (neatly) into a Fong Kai 320A. The question I have is this: Which way should my front fan point?

I have 3 fans total in my system:

1 in the powersupply blowing out of the case

1 80mm under the powersupply blowing onto my cpu/corb combo (sucking from the back of the case).

1 120mm fan in the front of the case at the bottom, it is currently blowing to the outside.

Should I change that though so that it sucks from the outside and blows in?

Should I try and screw with the powersupply fan and change it so it blows in too?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

1.Power supply is need to blow out, don't make blowing in, cos power supply area is hot, if you make the fan blowing in, you get hot air going into your casing.

2. The back fan suppose to be blows out, taking the heat from your CPU, why they put fan on higher place? Cos hot air moving to the higher place and cooler air on the bottom.

3. Front fan blows in, with the same reason above, beside on your Fong Kai casing the air circulation is not really good, if you blows out from front fant you take cooler air out!!!!

Soundsation laid it out well, what he describes is pretty much a standard common-sense approach.

I'm not sure why they have that back fan blowing in on the FK-320. I flipped mine around so it was blowing out the back of the case.
