Case Fans...
Hello,
I am replacing my case fans in my system tonight (2 of them sounded like garbage and the other 2 are just as old)
My case is setup with 2 front fans at the bottom behind a filter. I am using these to bring air INTO the case.
I then have 2 fans on the back of the case up slightly higher, I am using these to blow the hot air OUT of the case.
My question is what to do with the fan on the side of my case... IN or OUT? It does line up with the back half of my video card, but that is about all. Video card seems to stay pretty cool without it (I had been running without a fan in this spot)
My thoughts are that because its lower in the case I should bring air IN to blow on the video card. But I dont know if 3 IN and 2 OUT is bad.
My motherboard obviously has a huge CPU fan and a chipset fan and the power supply has a large downward fan.
Any advice?
Next I need to replace the stupid chipset fan as I can hear it the most now.
