Blow 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 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.
 
a fan has to suck for it to be able to blow!!!!

well folks, thats my educated opinon on the matter :D

the real question is, which way works better?

i somewhat agree, but that would use too much energy..
wouldn't it be easier for the computer to just blow air in..
...because that would pretty much/kinda help blow the dust out too. right?

ps. ..misleading title :D:D:D
 
Works better blowing into the heatsink, if you have it blowing out most of the air gets pulled in through the top of the fins through the fan and not as much air moves at the bottom of the heatsink near the CPU. When you have it blowing in it moves air all the way to the bottom and out of the heatsink
 
I think it makes sense to blow air in towards the cpu and heatsink.

pushing is easier than pulling isnt it?

it would be compared to a fan/heatsink case that sucks air because there would be a "vacum" created within the air spaces in the heat sink, thus decreasing the fan's potential to move a given volume of air.

Obviously there will be better airflow through the heatsink if the air was pushed through it in a "positive pressure" scenario (ie opposite of vacum!).

the flow rate of the air through the heatskink would then be dictated by its ability to then easily escape from the heatsink.

finally, we all know that increased airflow = increased cooling!!!!!
 
Hey ThatGuy 16, I saw the picture of your PC chassis which is the sameone as the one im using, except its black. Anyway can you tell me what kind of Blue LED fan that you're using? And what's the thing above the CD/DVD drive? Thanks
