Hello,

I have a PC I was wanting to add a fan to and I was wondering which would be more efficient, an 80mm intake fan at the front of the case, or a 60mm exhaust fan at the rear of the case. Currently the only fans installed are the CPU fan and the fan on the PSU.

Thank You,

Exhaust fans on the back are generally prefered given the two choices. A 60mm fan though is questionable in this day and age of 120's. I suggest you consider modding your case to take a larger fan in the back. A 92mm fan would be a good starting point. Failing that, ditch the case. A 60 in back is a no-go in my opinion.

Good luck.

The 80mm as an intake, for now. A unmodded 60mm is whiny, but you should have something for exhaust as well. What kind of case is this?
