What is the best way to set your case fans (3-4 fans) all in or blowing out or somewhere in between Generally in at the front out at the back, following the PSU and getting a good air flow through the case.

wrote in message ... What is the best way to set your case fans (3-4 fans) all in or blowing out or somewhere in between Generally one more fan blowing in than out, taking into consideration the PSU fan. This creates a positive pressure in the case. Lane |

This creates a positive pressure in the case. This depends totally on your environment. In a dusty environment, yours is a good solution - no air and dust entering case through drive openings. In a low dust or no dust environment, you *want* cool air flowing over your drive devices, so exhaust fans should out number input fans, that is, more fans blowing out than blowing in. |

Why does more exhaust fans mean more air ? Who said it does? All I said is that having more exhaust fans than input fans (or more accurately more exhaust fan CFM than input fan CFM) will cause cool air to flow into the case across drive devices. Read it again, Lane. |
