Case Fan Question

[Krispy1]

im gonna put an extra fan in my case to vent out the back. out of experience what do u guys recommend for better cooling push or pull?(air intake or exhaust)

 

[Kipper]

What case do you have?

The more fans the better. I personally try to have positive air pressure in my chassis which means that I will have more intake than exhaust.

You might fill out your system specs which will give us a better idea for recommendations for you.

You want at least one intake and exhaust.

I always thought negative pressure was the best route.
Meaning you want slightly more exhaust than intake.

my case is oem but i switched psu added cpu and gpu. my psu has a nice 135mm fan intake so i think im gonna put a 120mm on outtake to push out any warm air that may build. im not having any heat issues but its always best to run cooler

Have to take it on a case to case basis. I have heard folks having best results with negative pressure, others positive pressure. My Lian Li case I have two 140s in front pulling, one 120 directly behind my Megahalems heat-sink with it's 120, pushing out back. Last two are 140s on top, pushing out and getting rid of any residue heat left in the case.

I might install a smaller side fan to supply cooler air to my GTX 470, still working on that aspect.

I think it depends on your case. best case scenerio (no pun intended) would be intake fans low on the front, and exhaust fan higher on the back/top. For your general discription, I'd say exhaust for sure. A Guy
