fan directions

DarkWhisper · 2 Sep 2009 at 19:01

At the mo i have the air moving in from the right as you look at the front of the case so cool air moves in past the psu and pump. have i got the direction right? if i get the cool air moving in from the left will i leave stagnent air floting around the inside space where the psu is. ive thought about it for sometime now but didnt want to turn all them fans around just to know if it works or not.

General idea is in at front and bottom, out at top and back
the psu should have its own fan to draw air in, ensure this is oriented correctly

not the psu the rads at the bottom

As you look into the pc do you want cool air going past you or warm air blowning at you

so long as its all flowing in one continuous direction and not fighting against each other it shouldnt matter, your ambient temp will stabilise pretty rapidly anyway
