Do you need a rear fan if your case is open?

Conclusions It is common sense that installing an exhaust fan at the rear panel of the case helps to cool all the components of the computer, including the CPU. However, most people don’t know simple facts about this subject, such as do you need a rear fan if you keep your case open?

How many case fans do I Need?

I would only ever use 1 or 2 case fans, for noise purposes. Unless you're running a hugely overclocked CPU and GPU you shouldn't need more than 1 to keep temperatures safe. deleted 0.6275 What is ^^^this?

How many fans does a R3 case have?

Case fans - more intake or more exhaust? Discussion in ' General Hardware ' started by StewieTech, May 16, 2012 . So i got myself a Fractal Design define R3. The case comes with 2 fans, one in the front and one at the rear.

How to tell which way your PC fan is blowing | PCWorld

Look at the fan blades. Not all fans have an arrow—or perhaps you’re trying to evaluate a fan that’s installed in a case or on a CPU cooler and you don’t want to unmount it to look for an ...

Should AIO fans be "intake" or "exhaust"? - Linus Tech Tips

TL;DR: If you have an AIO water cooler, do you recommend that the fans blow into the case or out of it? I've got a Ryzen 2600x and a Corsair H100i Pro AIO (240mm), mounted on the top fan slots on my case (which is a Fractal Define R3). Ever since I got the AIO, I've had its two fans blowing into ...

Do you need case fans?

The necessity of case fans (if, like most of us, you don 't have liquid cooling) is quite obvious: all that hot air generated by your equipment, especially video cards and CPUs, has to be vented out somewhere and replaced by "new" and cooler air.

Does a confined space heat trap damage a motherboard?

Trapping all that heat in a confined space with little-or-no escape doesn't help anything, and in fact, it has the potential to damage components (although most modern motherboards, CPUs, and video cards contain temperature thermometers that auto-shutdown if it gets too hot).

Does cooling affect gaming?

Cooling for gaming rigs -- even in the budget build guides we write -- has the power to inhibit gaming (and even damage components) if it is insufficient, so it is of high priority that you get your cooling figured out early in the game to increase the longevity of your gaming computer.

Intake airflow should always exceed exhaust. With positive air pressure you avoid taking in dust from openings that are not filtered. Mine is set up like this:

The way i get it is, more exhaust. You do need at least one intake, but i think you need more exhaust to force out the hot air

lehtv Ancient Guru

positive air pressure doesn't circulate hot air in the case, it forces it out of the openings that aren't occupied by fans, e.g. in my case, the unoccupied top fan slot. Temperatures in my case are the same with and without that exhaust fan

Goutan Master Guru

I'm a supporter of positive pressure flow, but ultimately, I feel that it depends on your case design. An optimal design is based on a thermal map and the amount of air passing over the components with varying thermal properties.

It dont matter how many exhaust or intake that you have as long as you have cool air coming in blowing over hardware in general.
