question about fan on top of the case

[Corporate Thug]

i have a coolermaster case with a fan on the top panel, i was wondering if it would be best to keep it as is and let it blow air into the case or flip it so it is blowing air out of the case. thanx

I'm in the school that believes that should be used as a blow-hole, thus exhausting hot air out of the case.

I'd flip it around and make it blow air out of the case since hot air rises. See what the temps of your case are now and see what it is after you flip the fan around, see which one gets better results.

It should blow out... of course there are other factors that could cause blowing in to yield lower temps.do you have any intakes?

heat rises and builds up on the top of ur case so turn that fan around and spit that nasty air out
