Exhaust Fan

Go to solution Solved by Godlygamer23,

The terminology used is dependent on the function the fan is providing. Even if the fan is in the back, it can be oriented to be an intake. That being said, it is a solid fan.

Just wondering, would this be a good choice for a fan at the back of a case? I'm not sure if the correct term is exhaust or not.

The case I'm planning on usign this for has a mesh at the back as well, so I'm not sure if that would interfere or not.

It won't be used as intake, so I think the correct term to use would be exhaust, I might be wrong though.

Your terminology is correct.
