How should my PC's case fan be set up?
So I have my CPU fan sucking cool air and blowing it towards the CPU. The hot air exhausts out of the heatsink and blows away. I'm installing an extra case fan in the rear of the PC (the cage). Should I have it sucking air from the inside and blowing it out of the system or vise versa?
BONUS QUESTION - I also have a little vent thing in the front of my desktop. It's at the very lower-right corner. I also noticed there was a little clip thing there. Does a 120mm fan go there? If so, does it suck air from the outside and blow it inside? Thanks...
Your extra case fan should push air out of the case.
It is possible there is a opening for another fan in your case. But, If your rear fan is pulling air out of the case, where does fresh air enter it? The "vent thing". So, if a fan attaches in this place, it would pull air into the case. As far as size of the fan, there is one important item missing here. What manufacture and model of case is it? Hope it helps.
