Stupid question of the day!

[ashegam]

I just purchased this Antec fan.

It's installed on the back of my mini tower case and the sticker is facing the outside, just like how the stock fan was installed.

Question: Is the air blowing in or out? I can't feel anything by putting my hand close to it even on high setting.

Maybe look which way the blades are spinning???

It should be blowing out...if it's plugged in.

Open up your case, fire it up, and make sure though.

I believe that Antec fans blow air towards the sticker. At least on my Antec 300, I had to mount my front intake fans such that the sticker is on the inside.

You can tell by the way the fan blades are curved, how it blows.

I am disappointed that there isn't an airflow arrow etched into the side of the fan like some fans have.

Hold a piece of paper over the fan opening, the answer to your question will soon follow, if the fan is turning.

lol, so easy. It worked. It blows it out

As a general rule, 99.9% of the fans out there blow towards their stickers

just look at the blades, it takes 2 seconds to figure out which way it blows...
