Cpu Fan Which Way

Reattached them but i think i might have it the wrong way around because it sounds way.

Rechargeable fan qatar. Use proper fan positioning. If a blade is angled down and the fan turns in the same direction as the blade angle it will blow forward. This fan is expelling heat directly from the cpu into the cases main airflow lane.

This is the intel factory cooler for a socket 1150 system note its not much different than several other. By changing the direction a fan is mounted it can act as either an intake or exhaust. This will probably be appropriate for you.

Many computer case fans today have a small arrow on one of the sides to indicate the direction the fan is moving air. To avoid making your computer too loud use fewer or quieter fans. You can make sure that the system isnt too loud with the fan only spinning up faster when your pc gets warm.

The direction a fan blows air is always determined by a the shape of the blades sometimes called propellers and b the direction they turn. Likewise if the blade is angled down and the fan turns the opposite direction the reverse is true. Air travels one way through a fan in one side and out the other.

What if i cant see them. This is where the exhaust fans will take over dragging this warmer air out of the case. You will also be able to identify the exhaust side as you will see power wires entering the fan motor.

Unfortunately not all case fans have these arrows so it requires some additional investigation on your part to locate them. Also flashing multi color lights shouldnt be the main feature of your case fans. Ideally you want to place an exhaust fan as close to the cpu as possible to quickly expel this hot air.

The red arrow in the image points to an example of these markers. Rear exhaust fax heatsink cpu fan. The rear or exhaust side the side that the air comes out of of our fans will always be the side that houses the fan motor.

Or you can have it cranking away at full tilt all the time to make sure your cpu stays cool. The side with the guardmotor support lastly the fan airflow can be identified by the arrow markings on the fan. Just detached my cpu fan from my cpu heatsink for the first time to get at the really bad gunk in between.

There are several options for how a cpu cooler can exhaust heat from the cpu. Make sure the front of your cpu fan is facing into the back of the heatsink so it is pushing cooler air between the blades of the hs and out to the rear. A side mounted fan expelling or drawing in air in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard might be useful here but not all cases support that.
