    Question Fan confusion! Connecting Lian Lia Galahad II Trinity 360 and 7x Lian Li ST120RGB fans ?

    Question Has anyone compared "blower" fans vs overhead fan effectiveness?

    I'm looking to get a new video card. I've always preferred "blower" fans that blow air across the card and exhaust heat out the back of the computer vs "overhead" fans that blow straight down on the card (often with another card next to it blocking the fans) and dissipate the heat back into the...
