Computer Case Fan

sorry post wrong on game section. please admin move it to help section thanks
Gonna go on a limb and say this is posted in the wrong section? You should have a fan bringing in air and a fan forcing the hot air to exit…

if just one fan it should be blowing hot air out
if more than 1 fan
rule of thumb
back of case “hot air out”
front of case “blowing cool air in”
80mm fans won’t really do much on airflow.
when using cooling fans in a case you need to create positive air pressure i.e. if you have 1 exhaust fan then you will need to intake fans to maximise cooling.
so in your case you might only have space for one fan so you would need to make it an intake fan, regardless of whether it is at the front or back of the case.

Also, having your laptop elevated or your pc in a place where air is more accessible will be more preferable. Make sure that your laptop or box are not restricted on the air intake, as this is crucial to better coling your system and maintaining the desirable core temperature. From time to time you will be required to clean your fan. Dust does accumulate inside, so if your hearing your fan being constantly on, I think its time to do some cleaning
.this is my computer case, this is how i put my computer case fan. computer idle around 48c, max 52c. this is alright setup ?
regardless of whether it is at the front or back of the case.if both are in the same vicinity then you may exhaust air before it has a chance to absorb any heat rendering both useless
I will second this. It is far easier to have the air flow in.both incorrect
an exhaust fan has no restriction an is more efficient than a fan forcing air into a case the has to find a way out thro and around restrictions

In my opinion, the front is good but as for the two fans on the side; I would make the top one suck air out and the first two (from bottom to top) suck air in.
Hot air rises so you want to suck it out from the top of the case, not the bottom.
computer idle around 48c, max 52c.what CPU ?
as a test disable the “big fan out” and see if any temps change
that front fan is moving air in but the “big fan out” is sucking it out before it can absorb any heat
then try reversing “big fan out” and watch your temps
then run with the setup that gives you the lowest temps

both incorrect

There is no such thing as no restriction unless in a vacuumand that = restrictionnitpickingpositive pressure is only good if you’re moving the air out = multiple fans (intake & exhaust)
and have fan filters
CPU is intel i7 950. no overclocking. OEM cpu fan. 650w PSU
computer idle around 48c, max 52ctemp seems a lil high, you running a stock CPU cooler
I’m running the same cpu with stock cooling. i get an idle temp of 40c and when running prime i gte a max of 51c. also positive air pressure will force air out.
