fan flowage?


hey, i want to know the best way to have my fans so i can get the coolest system possible with what i got. lets see...i have 3 fans on the case....one on top that blows air outward....and one on the side that blows inwards....and one in the back that blows inward, i also have a fan over my processor and on my vid card....should my fans be blowing as they are? or is there a better flowage i could be using? thanks

i think as long as your case temp is less then 35* C, your ok, but any higher, and you HD's might start to overheat, as a rule heat rises, so if you have intakes on the bottom, and exhaust's at the top, its the best fan setup
btw, nice... fan FLOWAGE

You should get some airflow over your hdd and your ram for the best performance.

i dont see how that would help unless they're so hot they're screwing up

laptop hd's get over 50 C and still work fine

maybe if you put in 3.3 into your ram
