On my case I have a fan in front blowing air INTO the case. I just found
out I forgot to get a fan for the rear Smile

Does the rear fan blow air INTO or OUT_OF the case.
Thanks

> Does the rear fan blow air INTO or OUT_OF the case < Traditionally, the front fans suck air into the case and the rear fans blow it out.....

Then the fan will suck air in from wherever it can find a gap, as well as from the front fan.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: fan question

out but since you most likely already have a fan blowing out of your PSU there's really no need to add another fan unless you having heat problems.

If you're buying a pre-made system from a major systems builder who has engineered it to be that way then that may be true but if you're building one yourself from generic components then it will likely have heat problems without a rear fan separate from that in the PSU. > "ill" <artform RemoveThis @yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:mLBUc.112397$sh.54739@fed1read06... > >>On my case I have a fan in front blowing air INTO the case.
