Go to solution Solved by Rampiks,

front and rear sucking in and top fans blowing out. rember dust filter if you are going to reverse the fan

Posted

I'm finishing up my PC build and have ran into the problem of deciding how the fans should be placed. This is a close representation I found on google: http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/4820859.jpg

 

1) Should I have the two fans on the cooler face upwards and blow out or not?

2) The fan on the back is blowing out currently should I change that?

3) I still have the two fans included with the case which I was planning to use on the front, should that be blowing in (intake) or not.

 

 

Thanks

Personally I would have everything except the radiator blowing in.
