Fans

Macbeth212 · 07-14-2005, 10:17 PM

Hi I have 5 case fans on my computer (2 -80 mm in the front)(1-80mm on the top)(1-80mm-on the side)(1-120mm on the back).This is my case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144100

so how should i have my fans setup which should be intakes and whih should be outtake fans ?

Thanks for the help

I would make the two front fans intakes, the top and back outtakes, and the side an intake. I'm basing this on the idea that the cold air flows in at the bottom (the front fans appear to be at the bottom), across the motherboard and proccessor and out the top and back. Hope this helps!

i had all my fans suck except the front panel which blows. definitely have the top fan suck and the back fan suck too. you can make the front and the side blow if you want but i would leave it as it is.

i would agreed, except it can depend on where the side fan is, on my p4v8x-x the cpu fan is directly under my side case fan. So i had side fan sucking air direct from cpu fan.

That not really best since your front panel will be at the bottom (of the front of the case) and hot air will raise to the top of your case. AND you will be drawing air in from the back of your case where it will be quite hot due to the small space (and the psu blowing out hot air). You need fresh cool air coming in from the front and blowing out from the back.
