fans
hey i have a question might sound kinda dumb but i need a pro's answer I have an 80mm fan in the front and 120mm in the back of my case and i have put an 80mm in the side thats funneled directly at my cpu which has a thermaltake silent 775 on it. question should this side fan be pushing air out of my case or into it?

Front-Intake, Back-Exhaust, Top-Exhaust, Side-Intake
That about covers all fan combinations

Nope, the CPU fan blows air onto the heatsink..not away from it.

Some poeple would argue that set-up, however I'm not one of them, I agree that the side fan should be an intake, but my friend has his as an exhaust, and it had better cooling effects, to each his own
