Need help with setting fans

[lillazy23]

I have a AMD 1.2 socket A cpu with A7V133 mobo, wanted to know how the fan on the chasis should be set, the one directly above the cpu should be set blowing in or out??? and the one on the bottom front of the case, what about that one. Thanks

the fan in the front should be set to blow air into the case. make sure the case has an opening in the front otherwise air won't be able to get in. the one in the back should be set to blow air out of the case, exhausting the hot air around the cpu. if you're willing to do some modding, adding a blowhole on top and an extra intake on the side wall opposing the cpu helps tremendously.

If you can remove your front case cover, drill out some 1/4 inch holes
on the front bottom bezel where you are placing your front fan. I used a metal nibbler to remove most of the metal in front of my front fan.

Just be careful to mark your bolt holes so you don't nibble to much away.
