Antec 300 Side Panel Fan-Suck or Blow?

JonnyBase · 26 Nov 2008 at 21:30

As the title of the thread says really.

Currently have 2 x 120mm fans on front sucking in and then the top/back and side fans blowing/exausting out.

Was wondering if i am best having the side fan sucking in to the case or leaving it as it is?

Specs [email protected] idle 35.c & 4870

ive had it both ways and noticed no difference. graphics card temps go down a few C either way. id have it intaking as it makes more sense, although it really does make no difference.

I've got the Antec 300 and i find that using the side fan mount as a intake fan helps to lower the GPU temps by just a few degrees. Tried it a few days ago as an exhaust outlet and GPU temps went up.

My antec 300 has 2x yate loons as intakes at the front and 1 at the side, the two fans that came in the case are exhaust fans so that the air blow right through the case.
