Hi there,
Running the build in my sig in a dated xblade case, which has 1 120mm large fan in the front pulling air in (can't really move that one, really hard to get to), one side panel fan and two spaces for fans at the back of which one is occupied. I have 2 PWM Arctic Cooling F8 80mm fans on order and 2 non-PWM fans of the same spec. Now, my PSU is also at the top of the case and the fan is going into the case, though I can't tell if it's sucking air out of the case or pushing it in.
I'm not sure about which way to orientate the 3 fans on the side, and 2 on the rear respectively. I heard that it's better to have more air going IN than coming OUT, making positive pressure helping to lower dust build up. I don't know if this is true, but does anyone know what configuration would be best for cooling? 2 pushing in at the back, one pulling out at the side or what?
Cheers
