it should "pull" the air in. if you choose to mount a fan in the front of a case, it should be and intake fan. since the rear and top of the case are generally exhuast fans, the air has to come from somewhere.Gabe1972 said:should the air be pulling into the case to be creating an airflow through the case, or blowing out like the fans on the back of the case?
huh??? what do you mean it cannot? of course it can. if the other fans are all exhuast fans, and you also make the front fan exhuast as well, then where will the cooler ambient air come from?? doing this would not only make the fans work harder, but will likely make them louder as well.NFSFAN said:It should be blowing out :knock: It should no be putting air inside because it cannot
2 prong fans and 3 prong fans are pretty much the same thing, the only difference is that the 2 prong doesn't have the speed sensor wire. the fan itself still works the same.Gabe1972 said:I have an 80mm one from an old power supply, but it is only two prong
are you using and old HP power supply as well?Gabe1972 said:I used everything but the case, processor and board out of an old HP

sure it does... i didn't say cool air, I said cooler air. reguardless of how hot your room temp is, it is still almost always cooler than the air inside your PC case.wolfram said:Well, that rule doesn't apply here in my room :haha: Right now my room is at 92° F :hotouch:KingCody said:where will the cooler ambient air come from??
