[SOLVED] airflow

[mitchellcoppins1]

so i have a really old PC case and i have a fan mounted on the side opposite to the CPU fan at the moment it is a exhaust fan i was just wondering if that's the best move i also have a 1050 ti that gets to 80c and im not sure i i want that side fan to be a intake because the hot air will get blown into the cpu. what would you recommended?

Yeah that case is horrible

Buy another fan to put at the rear as exhaust and put the one on the side as intake. The one on the side is so small tho lol. Is that a 80mm?

yeah lmao i have corsair fan as a exhaust at the back no problem but this case doesn't have any intake because of the old model. so you think i should make the little one as a intake?.

I don't even know if it's gonna make a difference really. With that fan size probably not a lot of air is moving right?

i mean that is true its quite powerful and something is better that nothing right?

You need an intake and it's better to use the side as intake than the rear.

You can always just turn it around and test what setup (in/out/no fan) gives you better temps.
