Help my fan is running backwards

[TheMasterGhost]

I built a new computer about two months ago using a fong kai case the fk-320. The fan that pulls the air out and is over the CPU is blowing air into the case. What can I do? The rest of my specs are in my sig.

If that is the way it supposed to run tell me.

haha you must be pulling our leg. But in case you are not, the fan is there to whisk hot air AWAY from the heatsink so that the heatsink can draw heat from the processor continually.

well fans are supposed to through cool air from the case on the hot heatsink to coolit down and therefore cool the cpu it self. try to upside down it, or buy a new one.

Humm, ok I guess it is supposed to pull air in from the back of the case and blow it on the heatsink. Thanks Rigoletto

Well, if you want to reverse the flow of air for some reason...why not just flip the fan?

 

[Doggiedog]

Can't you just reverse the polarity of the power connectors?

Actually, I have the same case, and the fan was oriented the same way as well. Thats the way it was supposed to be (at least, to the people who installed the fan). However, I decided I wanted continual airflow through my case, and so I reversed the fan (physically, changing the power connecors won't do it) so that air was blowing out of the case, and installed another fan in the front of the case that blows air inside onto the PCI and AGP stuff. Hope that helps.
