P180 Air Flow

[.Wiggles.]

if someone could be kind enough to show me what way the 3 fans blow i would greatly appreciate it. I am buying 2 more fans one 80mm for the pci duct and a 120mm to put in the top shelf front where the hard drives go.. i know it may sound noobish of me but what way should i put the fans in... if you could draw them in.

(This is just a generic picture i found)

The picts show one on top, one in the back, and it looks like one in front of the power supply...?

i don't understand what you are saying?

are you trying to replace the fans in place or adding new one on top of the ones already installed (came stock)

if you look on the fans itself many will show a little arrow showing the direction of where the air is coming and going, and look at the image above you can see which direction it needs to go...

just remember bring in cold air and take out the hot air!

thanks for the tip... i'm new at this. I'm making my first build, i think i chose a hard case for a beginer but my dads good so if i run into hard times he can help.. right now my only worry is buying the rest of my parts


so on the pci slot, i need to suck air out or have it blow on the video card?

are you talking about a pci slot fan (exhaust) i have never seen it do that much in helping with temps... all it good for is taking the hot air out but I haven't seen it do that much.

but if you talking about the pci slot fans that has 2 of them on there i can see it doing something even though i have never tried them. by blowing on a vid card but not sucking out hot air ...
