i cant not figure out what way my fans are blowing. they are the antec smartfans. manual says they blow in the direction of the side that has the antec sticker by mine have stickers on both sides. my buess guess is they blow towards the side that the red and black wire visibly comes out of.

any ideas?

yes, that's right. I've got two of these fans and they also have arrows on them. You can also tell by, you know, feeling the air move....

Stink your finger in and see which way it pulls it.

Fans (all of them) rotate Counter-Clockwise when looking at them from the front. And just a hint... the side with the sticker on it with "voltage" specifications... that's the back. ;) That's the side Air comes out... if you didn't figure that out by the rotation part. :D

i always remember it by thinking that the air blows out the side with the three "grill" things. basically like adul says.

99.9% of the 60-80-92-120mm fans I've ever seen have litte arrows molded into the outer case that shows the direction of airflow and the rotational direction. Look around the outside of the fan body for these arrows.
