I have two fans in the back blowing out and a side fan blowing out as well, just wondering if the side fan should be blowing in or out?

Side fan should blow in, the back ones should blow out.

The only problem with fans blowing in is that over the months when you next open your case you wont be able to see anything for dust. I turned mine around so that they all blow out and it has reduced my system temp.

in regards to the post above mine. I had the EXACT OPPOSITE effect, changing the fan around lowered my temps around [sucking air in] dropped temps about 5c just with that fan.

Hi

if I leave my case open my temps for my Athlon XP 2100+ Palimino can reach 55c idle and under load can reach high as 63c

Adding a 120mmfan on the case blowing air at the CPU at 2000rpm and a 80mm 3 inches away from the 120mm blowing air out, my temps ar now 46 - 47 celsius idle and 49 - 51 celsius under load

Amazing what 2 little fans can do
