Quick Q: shouldn't the front fan in front of the HD's be an intake fan blowing into the case and not out the case?

this case is designed with reverse airflow...Originally Posted by SparkyJJO
the back fan is an intake and the front fan (and now also the top fans) are exhausts
have you tested to see if you reversed all of that you get better temps? that being turning the two radiator fans blowing down into the radiator, the rear fan blowing as an exhaust and the front fan blowing intake.
oh OK, but that brings up another question - with 3 fans blowing out and only 1 blowing in, won't that create a little negative air pressure inside the case and starve the fans for air? Would it maybe be better to have the rear and the front fans blowing in and the rad fans blowing out to even it up?

possibly... another route i was thinking of doing is having all three exhausts run at either 7V or 5V and keeping the intake at 12V...
