Blow not Suck?

jutnm · 08-21-2007, 03:19 AM

cpu fans are suppost to blow out air right , not suck ????

Depends, bottom of the case should be intake, top of the case should be exhaust. (heat rises)

Just depends on the case layout and how many fans.

If your talking about the heatsink fan then you should have it blow onto the heatsink.

well i have and AMD HSF. im jw if it blows or sucks ???

A HS/f will blow cool air unto the fins of the heatsink. Only logical way, Blowing out would be a disaster.

ThatGuy16 · 08-21-2007, 03:50 AM

Whoops, yeah suck into the HS. I misread

If you have good air movement in your case, heat doesn't have time to rise, it is dispelled quickly enough, so it doesn't matter.

Whether the heated air is removed or not does not matter, if there is constant heat in an area it will warm the materials nearby which will than conduct heat, albeit minor but significant when dealing with computer components.

What helps is pushing in 'fresh' air which is much cooler from the outside, good cooling inside a computer case cannot be complete without adequate intake.

I know that, I am not stupid ETSA.... Intake CFM=Exhaust CFM for optimum flow but if you dispel it quick enough, then you are left without that problem or state of thinking.
