FAN in duct air

[Marco Antonio 123]

Hi guys!
Maybe a stupid question, but do I install a 80mm fan in the duct air like showed in the picture or I remove the duct air and place only the fan?
Of course fan blowing air from outside to inside .. Lol..

Thanks!

Marco

I believe that's meant to sit above the Intel stock cooler and give it a supply of fresh cold air. If you're using an aftermarket cooler, remove the duct.

You don't need to put a fan there, and it's probably preferable to put them at the front and rear/top.

I recognize that side panel. Cooler Master Elite from 6 or 7 years ago? (Though I think it is a supercase clone)

Someone Somewhere,
I will install one of this Akasa Fan

It's the duct that goes directly to Intel CPU of my P5Q mobo.

Eximo,
You are absolutely right! It's an old cooler master Elite case.

You will can see what I want to do, starting in 2:40 of this video.
Sorry that the language is in Portuguese ...

Ah, I see.

Do you have a CPU cooler with the fan pointing towards the motherboard, like in the video? Or does it point sideways? If it's pointing sideways, you probably can't fit the duct, even without the extra fan.

It's the same way of the video
