Just wondering, i have a haf932 case with watercooling setup, basically the rad fans will grab air from inside the case and push it through the rad and out of the case. Now my side fans are intaking air, my front fan is also intaking air, i just want to confirm that the back fan should also be intaking air into the case?. Thx

you want balanced air pressure through the case. a 1/1 ratio is best. So no not ALL the fans should be intake that is bad.

How many fans are on the rad, and where is the rad? Top of case, or back???

personally I would reverse all that, suck cool air in thru the rad, and all the other fans are exhaust

I believe if you have air coming in you should have air coming out too.
you can't keep the hot air inside, must be constantly clearing it out

ok i thought maybe since the rad is on top, it will suck the air out through the rad, btw the side fans are also intaking, it wouldnt really make sense to make the back fan suck out because, the air needs to go up to the 3 rad fans. Got the gtx360 with kaze fans

His RAD fans are exhausting.

Air has to move! In and out! All intake won't help your temperatures... In fact, it's better to have more exhaust than intake, as it forms a pseudo-vacuum effect, and should force more air through mesh and other passive airflow areas.

what he said, theirs a really good article on aerodynamics lemme see if i can find it. it will explain how air moving over a surface creates a vacuum effect thus increasing static pressure yadda yadda

ok which fans would it be smart to flip for exhaust? Front and back?, forgot to mention, i have nb/sb and cpu block only, no vga.
