Alright folks. I have a spare case laying around, nothing in it as of right now. Im starting to get the urge to mod it. So ive put 2 80 MM Stealths blowing out the back. NOW heres the question

There are holes for a 80MM or 120MM fan in the front, I was thinking about going with a 120MM. Also would there be any gain in cooling by putting another fan blowing up (or out) from the bottom? or should I go with a blowhole?



These questions may not make sense as im half asleep. If you have any questions on what im asking dont hesitate to ask me.


Thanks
Andy


PS this case may end up being a folder so it will be running 24/7 under full load sooner or later

i'd probably go with a blowhole, those are nice to keep cool air on the CPU.

Blowholes do help alot as heat rises!:)

Thats a GOOD point. Just goes to show, dont post on the internet late at night, you forget common knowledge stuff. I think ill go with the 120 MM front and a 120 MM blowhole.. Sound good?

as the guys above have said, the blowhole, will provide air for the CPU, remember hot air is more dense therefore moves slower when planning how your gonna exhaust the hot air
