fan installing

[Icehawk]

okay this might be the dumbest post ever but im having problems figuring out which fan goes which way... because some of them rotate clock wise and some counter dam this is stupid and some also need to blow in and out. so is there like a dummies guide to installing fans :/

[Theros]

uh... there is only way way to clip the fan into the CPU ontop.... Just fiddle with it till you get it in... Theres suppossed to be like an arrow or something

ops i forgot to say case fan :D yeh i figured out the cpu fan im not that dumb lol there is only one way lol :P and i figured them out so nvm lol i just got some baking powder turned the fan on and looked which way it went lol

[Theros]

lol.... or you could just see where the cable needs to plug in and align the case fan toward the plug in

[Icehawk]

lol.... or you could just see where the cable needs to plug in and align the case fan toward the plug in

there is no specific place the cable is in the middle so either side would do. stupid fans ne who its looking pretty good in there 1 front 1 side and 2 back fans should keep er cool

Doh, the case fans can go any direction.... as long as the power cable (plugging into the power plug) can reach...

backs 2 flow air out the back toward the wall and the other 2 fans flow air in. Standard set up there and pretty logical.

the fan needs to blow ouyt not in though... so there's gotta be a correct way.

idk which way is which tho :)

hmm i thought the side fan is suppost to blow out? the processor fan is right underit so wouldnt it make sense to have the processor fan blow its air out the side fan ?

[Theros]

I believe install it so the fans turn clockwise?

[Icehawk]

um im guessing counterclock wise because my cpu fan goes counter clockwise and it only has one way to go in

I've got all my fans on minimal power usage you were right Icehawk that side fan does blow out. (my front fan is 120mm and way faster than the other ones so its just sucking in all the air it needs).
