Suck or blow?

[CharlieCharlie]

Got a 120mm front fan pulling air in and 120mm fan sucking air out. I have a vent on the side of my case just above the PCIe slots which I have a 80mm fan... should I make this pull air in or blow air out?

Interesting thread tittle..

in answer to your question you want the fan to blow in

Haha was thinking exactly the same thing.
Yes you'll want it sucking air into the case...or blowing it in? Depends how you want to think about it . Either way air should be going in.

No third option of swallow?

theres always one

to OP i would have the side fan as an intake drawing air into the case.

I have mine blowing in seems to cool my case better.

Might switch it soon when i get a fan controller because i have two 120m fans at the top of case blowing in.

surely you'd want top fans blowing out with hot air being less dense and rising to the top of the case...

Yeah intaking air would be the better option.

Never thought of it like that i will change it. it took me 20 minutes to put them in not looking forward to this.
