Flip Case Fans?

[DirtyFish]

Quick question regarding positive air flow, would I be better off flipping my top 200mm intake fan so that I get a positive air flow, or keeping it as an exhaust since hot air rises?

I have a HAF 922 if that makes a difference, 1 x 200mm front intake, 1 x 200mm top exhaust, 1 x 120mm? rear exhaust.

 

Thanks for any help.

You could also use the back 120mm as an intake, the hot air will still be able to rise and you will have positive air pressure.

whats the rest of your rig? thats important to know

Yeah I thought about that, but I dont have a fan filter for the rear fan, I have one for the top fan though.
Rest of my build is i5 760, gtx 460 and various other parts that I can't remember the name of, dont really know why thats important though.

You can always get a 120mm magnetic fan filter for your rear fan... Just a thought.

Yeah, I definitely could, I was just hoping I could better air flow and less dust without spending any money.

In that case, I don't think it would really hurt.  Lots of places for the air to get out of that case.  Give it a try and let us know if the temps are changed at all.

Will do, might give it a go this weekend if I get a chance.
