Hello,

I have the following case:

and the interior where CPU/GPU/rear fan is:
---idk if the VGA FAN is blowing ON the card of off the card cuz its weak :p
i would most gladly like to add the fan on the front bottom but the useless LCD screen and the front panel(2x usb sound things) are there so i cant -.-
so.. i wonder where the side FAN would have to blow, IN the case or OUT of the case, this is the passive cooler im going to take for my graphic card: http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/detail?sArticle=24.?

Thank You in advance

Personally, and I am no cooling expert, I have my side fan sucking air into my case and then the rear fan exhausting it. My case is somewhat fan heavy though, i have an "in" fan on the bottom of my case, and the bottom front as well. Then i have an additional out on the top. Basically air flows from bottom front to top back.

yes, thats the best way for cooling... from bottom front to rear top
but.. as i said, cant do that cuz of ront panel stuff
i could maybe set the FAN on bottom rear to blow in? so the air would go around the graphic card to the cpu and the rear top wouldblow the air out

Why can't you unplug the cables and reroute them so that they don't interfere with the front bottom fan area?
