Intake/Outake question

[Mataxa]

Does anyone know if It's a good idea to have my cpu fan on intake (It has a filter on it) and all the other fans to be outake?

Depends.

Which CPU cooler?

What case?

How many fans on case and where?

[Mataxa]

My cpu cooler is a stock cooler that came with my a10-7870k.
Case is umm some very old case (I can get a photo if really needed).
And Theres one fan in the back near I/O and another is placed where cd rom drives should be.
Also maybe you can take the psu fan into account which is near the top of my case tho I dont know Which way it's blowing.

in reality if the radiator is taking in fresh air or exhausting hot air it makes almost no difference... i'd just recommend having more intake than exhaust because you can control where dust gets in and place filters accordingly otherwise dust will get in through any opening that isnt filtered 

 

 

edit saw the reply:

 

if it is a stock cooler have it set to blow air down towards the motherboard

Maybe you can see something in these photos. I've blocked all the holes in my case With an Idea to take fresh air from outside through that funnel filter thing and then other fans should take the hot air out.

those are really small fans i'd keep everything as is unless you want to spend some money on better/bigger fans for the case. also i can see a lot of dust under the cpu heatsink fan maybe clean that to see some thermal improvements? or if you dont want to spend any money you could just take the front fan and replace the funnel thing with the fan.

The PSU is sucking air and passively exhausting it. But it seems to me the intake front fan is coming from an intel stock cooler? If so, it is also mounted as an exhaust right now (since they are meant to blow downwards to the heatsink).

In any case, a front intake and a rear exhaust seems the way to go.

If you mean side fan duct, thats better as intake.
