Ummm, don't like to ask but i have to lol...

Just received two 120mm Akasa Amber fans - but cannot for the life of me work out which way around they go?! Haven't got the motherboard yet so cannot plug them in, but want to place them inside the case, anyone help this plumb duffer out?

Thanks

Do they have an arrow on the side of them? You can always spin the fan with your finger to check the direction of the air flow.

Arrows on the casing show blade rotation and airflow direction.
Exhaust side has the frame struts and label on.

usually fans blow from the side they are clean to a side where they have a sticker.

So if u want the fan to blow lets say out of the case, you need the clean side visible.

Yeha, arrow points exhaust towards the side with label on, but when manually spun, the airflow is far greater on the other side lol

if u have alook at the front of the fan with the sticker facing towrds you , air will be pushed towards you, sticker side = direction of airflow
