09-30-11, 12:45 AM #1Case Fan Question
In my case I have a space that I can attach a 120mm to the clear side panel I actually have 2 questions... is the air supposed to be blowing out of the case (drawing heated air away from the video card/cpu the opening is over) or facing in drawing cooler air to cool said components.. also it's a fan with a 3 speed controller high-medium-low which I won't be able to monkey with on the inside of the case.. do I just leave it on High and let the smart fan controls built into the mobo deal with it?

Re: Case Fan Question
Hi, The side panel fan/fans should be mounted as exhaust & the fan should be at full speed 100% of the time. If you look at the experienced/professional case builders,you will see the fan mounting on the side panel has no dust filter due to it being an exhaust,no filter required. Your mobo temps will rise alot if its mounted as intake.
