Make sure it's an exhaust fan as that's not a filtered intake

It is mostly usless, there's enough air in the case. And it blocks the fan from pulling air.

The side of the fan with the bracket is the side that the air is pushed towards.

Most fans push air towards the frame (those 4 arms holding the motor to the outside) but you can also plug it in let it spin up, and feel the air flow. Also, that 80mm is very small. If you can snag a 120mm it will move more air

I already had this and I can’t convince for a better fan, would this one help though

It helps but it will be loud and probably won't push that much air.

Yeah, more air is more better. LTT did a vid where they went full stupid and it helped. Might be a good time to look through all your fans to double check air flow now knowing air directionality
