Default Chassis Fans - 07-29-2005, 11:52 AM

Should the fans on my case be blowing air in, out, or a combination of the two?

May sound like a strange question but all my fans (2x 90mm, 1 80mm, 1 120mm) are all blowing out and I was checking out another computer in my house and noitced that fans were blowing inward.

Alright I changed my top 80mm to blow inward and my 120mm in the front to blow inward and my temps have dropped 20 degrees.

Always have a fan or two sucking cool air in.

Sorry Master Buttocks.

Doing this also fixed my videocard problem, with the crazy artifacts! Now all I need to do is clean up the wires the make the passage of air easier.

Make sure your air is circulating, have an even number of fans blowing in and out.

or a somewhat even balance of volume per size such as you currently have.
