hello,

i have a tower i won't modify till next year but was wondering about maximizing the fans in it now.

there is one fan in the front and 2 in the back. the fan in the front is low on the case one fan on the back is high on the case and another fan in the middle very close to the cpu cooler.

what would the best configuration be. having the front fan blowing cool air in and the 2 in the back pulling air out of the case or the other way around?
thanks,
ma.,d,

i most cases have the airflow is front to back, but you can experiment with it.

Hi madiaz, welcome to the Forum,
Personally I'll go with the front/low fan that sucks fresh air into the case like the back/mid, and with the up/back that blows out the hot air like the Power Supply fan.

I hope it helps you ;)

I'm a Ferrari's fan too, but I've only this horse avatar and a Ferrai's hat, for the moment ;)
