HI.

I got a chieftec bigtower and i can install 3 fans.2 on the back 2 for blow
out air and 1 on the bottom for blow air in. And 1 at the side it blows in.
My question the 2 on the back should they blow out or in for the best
cooling above the processor.My system is on this site

Same question....

My Casetek case (not yet built) has 2 front fan bays, two at the side,
two at the back and one at the top

I'm intending to run a 2.4 800 FSB in it, with 2 80GB PATA HDDs and a
9000 Pro AIW.....I'm looking to get away with one front fan (the other
bay left open), one at the side (ditto) wth one exhaust at the top

Can I get away with this (or even less) ? I'm anxious to keep it quiet
without overheating (no overclocking also)

Hi,
As long as air moves unidirection.
Puff of cigarette smoke blown into case will show it pronto.
