Changing Fan Direction Lowers Temps By Almost Half?

I'm willing to bet if you took out my case fans it would casue my GPU to get to excessive temps, considering the way my rigs laid out. Its micro atx motherboard in full atx case, but the cards are so close together.

If you were to trace air flow within a computer case, you would find that when you insert a card it creates an "eddy" within the normal cross flow from front to back in the case.

That's the beauty of Antec"s 900 gaming case.The emormous fans simply saturate the interior, not giving hot air any place to hide.

Yes, I love that case. I think I will stick with mine until I hit the lottery, though!
