Fan Direction Help!!

Sn0wMan · 10-August-05, 01:04 PM

I am needing some help with my fans. I currently have a 90mm intake on the back, and 2-80mm fans, one on the top blowing out and one on the side blowing in. My case temp is currently 85 F. How can I rearrange my fans to cool this thing down? Please help.

Make the back fan push air out instead of in. Also add like a 120mm fan or two 80mm fants up front pulling air in if u can. You dont wanna put an intake fan at the bach because heat gets trapped behind your computer with all the wires and the psu fan blows out back there.]

the reason I have it set up this way is because I have a window air conditioner next to my desk and I have a stand up fan directing the cooled air toward the back of my computer. I have an air director for my power supply to make it blow up away from my intake.

Your doing something wrong then. Because I have a single 120mm fan up front and just the psu fan and my case temps are like 28C and my ac is like 7 feet away.

If my math is right, that is about 29C... That is really cool.. why would you want to cool it down?
