Comment: 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?

Reply: (edit)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.

Reply: (edit)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.

Reply: (edit)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 Zero Cool
