Nessie09: I "fix" things; +107|6948|The Netherlands

I got a new case fan for my system, but I was wondering wether it should take the air in, or out.

My current setup is this:
* I have one side fan with a cone on it, mainly for the processor. (Takes air in)
* There is a standard AMD cooler on my CPU.
* My PSU is at the top back and is probably taking air out (but i'm not sure)

Now I wanted to place the new fan beneath my PSU (that's about the only place it fits) but I don't know wether it should be an intake or an exhaust.

Any thoughts?

well then you should find out in which direction the PSU fan is blowing.

Back fans mostly blow out.

Oh, and posting your case might help.

I don't know the name of the case.
In this file there are some pictures of it. (Mine looks way cooler in black though)

Out.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Ok thank you, switched it over to exhaust.
