Does the Big Typhoon Blow Up or Down?

jeepguy_1980 · Apr 24, 2006

I am considering a big typhoon for my setup. But I am curious if it blows the air down towards the mobo or away from it or if it's bi-directional.

I ask, b/c I have a case fan right above my proc that pushes outside air into my case. I don't want these two fans fighting against eachother.

it blows down. i believe you can just unscrew the fan and flip it however you want.

Mount fan blowing towards mobo to take advantage of your intake fan on the side panel.

You could reverse the fans for test purposses. If you get bored on a rainy day..

i have a tt bt, and had to get a lot more case cooling to make it very effective, because it is so big it blows right on my side panel.

I have the BT too and I am looking at making a duct to feed cool air to the fan. It is currently just cycling air off of the intake blowing across the dual 7600's and I dont really like it blowing exhaust from them to try to cool the CPU.

I just need to figure out how to attach the duct to my side panel and have it somewhat securely interface with the HS.
