Should PC radiator fans blow in or out?

Should PC radiator fans blow in or out?

Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out. If your case has vents at the top, they should be placed as exhaust fans because hot air will rise.

Do fans go in front or behind radiator PC?

there are no rules. if you had a massive air cooler instead of the rad, the top and rear fans would be ideal as exhaust. they would draw in air from the bottom get hot and exhaust in the rear/top.

Does it matter what side the fans go on the radiator?

a “push” fan. Mounted on the engine side of the radiator, a pull fan does not interfere with airflow at highway speeds. All shrouded fans should be on the engine side of the radiator.

Which way should my PC fans face?

When mounting case fans, air flows across the open side towards the side with the protective grille, like so: So the open side of the fan should face outside the case for intake fans on the front or the bottom, and it should face inside the case for fans on the rear or top.

What way should radiator fan spin PC?

So the open side of the fan should face outside the case for intake fans on the front or the bottom, and it should face inside the case for fans on the rear or top. Most cases are designed with a certain directional airflow in mind–usually front to back, and bottom to top.

What is a PC radiator fan?

The “radiator” fans are static pressure fans. This means that they’re optimized for pushing air through parts that will offer resistance, such as a radiator. Case fans are airflow fans. They’re optimized to move as much air as possible without forcing it to move in a certain direction.

How do I know if my fan is intake or exhaust Nzxt?

There should be arrows embossed in the fan’s frame or printed on a sticker that indicates the direction of air flow and the direction that the fan blades spin. It is you who decides whether or not the fan is used as an intake fan or an exhaust fan based on which way you mount the fan onto the computer case.

Can a radiator fan be put on backwards?

A word about installation: It is possible to install an engine fan backwards. That is, if a correctly installed fan draws air through the radiator, an incorrectly installed fan still draws air through the radiator – it does not blow air through the radiator. Here is a picture of a fan correctly installed on its drive.

Which way does a car fan spin?

Yes. If you are in the vehicle looking at the motor, standard rotation would appear as counter-clockwise. Or if standing at the front of the vehicle the fan would be moving clockwise.

Why does the fan on the radiator fan turn inwards?

The reasoning is that pulling outside air inwards will mean that cooler air will flow through the fins on the radiator instead of pushing hot air from around the hot engine through the radiator. The fan pulls fresh air through the radiator and exhausts it towards the engine, generally, in a downward angled direction.

What does the Fan Fan do in a car?

The fan pulls fresh air through the radiator and exhausts it towards the engine, generally, in a downward angled direction. The primary cooling for an engine, besides coolant, which simply raises the boiling point of the water, is a result of the water being cooled by circulating it through the channels of the radiator.

Is the fan behind the radiator positive or negative pressure?

So a fan mounted in front of the radiator will be a “pusher” fan: blowing air over the radiator with a positive pressure. A “puller” fan behind the radiator instead sucks air through at negative pressure. But the direction of air flow is the same.

How does the fan pull air from the outside?

The fan should pull air from outside the car through the radiator into the engince compartment. The fan should pull air from outside the car through the radiator into the engince compartment. Click to expand… No, no, no that is wrong.
