Where to place case fans...

brinky2006 · 11-27-2006, 11:43 AM

Where is the best place to put case fans? Should I just have one at the back of the computer acting as an 'exaust', or should I put one at the front as well?

I can also place a fan on the side of the case, above the cpu. Is this neccisary, and would it keep the case cooler?

It would depents... if your current temperatures are good, i wouldnt add any fan's at all tbh

Do you recon that I would need any fans, with the setup that I am currently running, and how do I find out what temp my computer and commponents are running at?

the grafic's card temp can be found in the nvidia drivers, for the CPU temp i would suggest something like speedfan

but if you are not overclocking your pc,.. i dont think fans would be needed

Doesn't the Aerocool have a huge turbine in the front? I would reconmend putting a fan in the back, just to complete the airflow in the case.

In my cae, I have an intake in the front bottom, and exhaust in the back top, and another exhaust in the side middle. Works well for me. I'm thinking about adding another in the top...
