Very quick fan question!

Quick answer needed please. I have a true witha xigmatek fan fitted to it. I also have 1 more xigmatek, and a noctua nf-s12 800rpm fan too. Should I put the noctua or the xigmatek as the front intake, and same question but the exhaust!

Cheers

prob too late but i would say the Xigmatek as the fromt intake and the Noctua as the rear exhaust, since the Noctua is slower running and hence with more intake you should be getting positive pressure which I prefer as it does seem to help reduce dust build up.

As always, FaceplantSi speaks the truth...!
Positive pressure means dust gets pushed away via all the litle holes in a case instead of sucked in.

Good good, thats what I went for! I think I will replace the noctua with another xigmatek, they do look rather sexy as well as being good air pushers!

Thanks as always for your help!
