Fong Kai 320 case & rear fan w/duct

[busmech1]

I have the Fong Kai case. I have a question about the rear mounted fan and duct. Mine came with this setup already mounted. Is this fan suppose to draw air off the CPU and out or direct air in over the CPU? I checked air flow direction on mine and it is pulling air in. I just wanted to know if this is correct or do I need to turn it around.

Thanks for any input. Don

I'd turn it around. I don't think you would want to blow air in towards the CPU.

Usually its better to have the bottom front fan blow air in and the back fan blow out.

You can try it both ways as long as the fan on your CPU is blowing on the chip... if it sucking air away, it would make little sense to have the hood and fan blowing the air right back on it.

I have this case and I removed the duct and turned around the rear fan so it acts as an exhaust. I also added a fan to the front bottom (the 320 comes with the removable mount) to act as inflow.

Cools great.

yea...i did what skinsfan did. I was confused also when I got the case.

I turned the rear fan around to exhaust and added an 92mm fan in front for intake. Works great, but I wish I tested it first so I could see if it made a difference.
