Fan Configuration

[[KreatoR]]

How should I configure my 4 fans? I have two fans that came with my case (they are pretty weak, like 25cmf or something) and then I have 2 Sunon 40cmf fans.

In the back of my case I have two places for fans
Then in the front I can put a fan in the HD cage
And one Below that I have another hole for a fan
(see the link below for pics of my case):

Where should i put each fan and what direcion should i have it blowing?

I had some trouble gettin the right answer from another forum... People would tell me what fans and where to put them, but nothing about intake or exaust, and so on. So here, to make it easy, just fill in the blank :)

Put the ___cmf fan blowing ___ (out or in) {of} the __________ (rear top hole/bottom rear hole/front HD cage/bottom front hole)

Then repeat that 4 times, once for each fan

There, that should be easy enough:p

Thnx!

I was just told in another forum to do the same, except have 1 25cmf and 1 40cmf fan on each side.

Which will give best temps?

That is something you will have to play with I would suggest getting a didgidoc or a compu nurse{temp gauge} and switch the fans around until you find a comfortable temp.

each machine will be different according on what you have in the machine
I don't use my front fans much becouse they will draw a lot of dust into the case.
My front are two 80mm 39.6cfm, the rear i run all the time which are the same the two side are 92mm 56.8cfm which are only used if i game or am doing heavy graphics.Top blow hole 120mm 103.8cfm runs constantly heat rises temp inside the case at a full load usually around 21c

you'll just have to play around with the fans to get the best performance there is no difinative answer.

Put both 40s in the back blowing out.....the intake/output does not have to be balanced, and having the output higher than the intake will help to keep the air flowing everywhere in side the case, reducing dead spots, it will also pull air in through vents that don't have fans attached...

I also have the same case and I also have 2 Sunon fans but I have my Sunons in the front blowing in and the 2 stock fans and the PSU fan in the back blowing out.
