Push/Pull and Case Fan flow questions

Andrew25 · December 18, 2022

So I bought a computer from CyberPowerPC and I'm not sure they installed the fans right, then I added some fans and I'm not sure if I did it right, so please let me know if this is the right set up.

So this is what they advertised.

And this is what I got... No RGB fans on the bottom or back, Instead of placing the 3 RGB fans on the bottom, they sandwiched it between the radiator. Ok fine, misunderstanding (Even though I confirmed with customer support 3 times that my PC would look like the picture), I'm not so sure about their fan placement. Shouldn't that back fan be blowing air out and not in? Shouldn't the bottom fans be sucking in air not blow air out? What about the fans sandwiched between the radiators, are they supposed to be going different directions or should all 6 be flowing upwards out of the case?

So to get the aesthetics I wanted without having to rewire everything, I just replaced the non RGB fans with some new ones. I also changed the flow of the fans so the back fan blows air out and the bottom fans suck air in. I'm assuming that the Gigabyte 4090 fans are also sucking air in, so this setup seems more logical to me, but I'm no professional here, that's why I chose to pay extra to let the pro's build it, so now that I changed things up, can you please give me some feedback on this setup?

Closer, but the radiator fans shouldn't be fighting each other. They should be working together. All your radiator fans should be exhausting out, blowing towards the top.
