Quick question

How would I know if my 120mm antec case fan (rear, exhaust) is actually set to blow air out of the back of my case?? Does the Antec logo point towards where the air is supposed to go??

Reason I ask is because I've been getting high motherboard temps lately. 40c+ (as high as 46c, or upwards of 110 degrees farenheit.

I have a Antec case door fan (80mm) as an extra exhaust fan. The air pushes out, but I have the same setup with my 120mm fan (logo pointing outward) and I can't feel any air pushing out or in!
 
your hand can be decieved when determining flow direction. Use a thin strip of paper. Its either going to get sucked into the fan or get blown away, either way youll know.
 
There should be a little arrow on the side of the fan showing air flow direction. The fan on your door should be an intake not an exhuast.
 
99.8% of modern fans blow air at the side of the fan with the plastic retention arms that hold the fan motor/blades in the center.

All of the ones I've experienced do. I have 7 different models around now that all do.
