Weird Fan way?

Pokemoneuro · September 22, 2015

Hi there!

I have an important question: Is the fan for the water cooling facing the right way? Now the airflow in my pc is going in at the front and out at the back! for the radiator for my water cooling is facing outwards so the hot air inside my pc is used to cool the water but inside my pc it isn't like "cool" it is hot there so I ask this to you: Is my fan supposed to get the air from outside the case and blow it trough the radiator and in my pc!?

I prefer the fans to use the Air inside the PC for good Airflow, it makes like a 0-1°C diffrence.

Generally, people use the air that's in the case. You get slightly better GPU temps and power delivery temps, bc those can get pretty hot.

It will be fine to use the air from inside the case so long as you have good airflow in your case. If the airflow is poor and the temp inside your case is hot you will just be using hot air to cool your coolant meaning you will be reducing the efficiency of your radiator quite a bit. If your airflow is balanced well enough the difference in temp will be negligible.
