CPU

Guys, I understand your logic, and totally agree that rear and top fans should be exhaust and front should be intake, but I have to say, if you have an intake fan speeding up air transfer into the case, why would you counter it and have an intake system on the fan? That doesn't make any sense.

Either way, this has been a nice argument, the OP can expect his CPU not to melt.

Not true, look at your own drawing... Air (cool) is being drawn into the case providing the cpu fan to move it to the cpu hestsiknk... It's clear as day...

I should clarify. The inside of the case is not a source of cool air, the outside is.

No sir, the outside (cool air) is clearly be drawn into the case and is the SAME cool air that gets circulated through the case. C'mon Fred...

I just said that! The outside air is cool and comes into the case. I was saying cool air does not come from inside the case (it is not cooled inside the case), it is drawn in from the outside.

For the hundred-millionth time. It's about efficiency, not power. Blowing will generate more power, but sucking is much more efficient given the way the rest of the system's fans are set up. It really depends on your system.

Yeah, bad form... Think I'll delete it myself!

Alright, like you said, replace power and efficiency:

For the hundred-millionth time. It's about power, not efficiency. Blowing will generate more efficency, but sucking is much more power[ful] given the way the rest of the system's fans are set up. It really depends on your system.

My statement still stands.

But it does do its job.
