ok, so i've searched all over and I cant seem to find a answer, i just built a new system and I have aacrylic case, now it has 2 side holes for fans and one on the back, now as of now I have all fans set up as exaust fans, is this the best way? any suggestions ar greatly appreciated. Thanks
sorry for the double post, now my powersupply is blowing air into my case, and my other 3 fans are blowing out, is this right or should i switch it around? also my processor is a amd phenom 2 x4 and i have speed fan instaled and it is saying my core temp is 41 degrees celsius.
Thats strange usually every power supply I've had blows the air out. Usually I have the case fan in the front of the case blow air in, all the other case fans blow out. I also make sure every hard drive has air blowing over it. I have the phenom x4 9750 95tdp watts. It idles at 32 celcius and maxes out at 45 celcius at full load. I think your 41 celcius is well within limits for a oem fan. this is the cpu fan I'm using. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1895
Yeah I thought it was odd as well that the power supply blows air in, and I have the 125 watt phenom 2, but atleast its good to know I'm not running hot, so do you think I should keep my fans blowing out? I don't have a fan spot on the front of my case, only on the back,2 on the side and 1 on the top. UPDATE- So I switched my 2 side fans so that they blow air in, and my back fan blows out, and I dropped about 4 degrees by doing that at idle.
