Question Are my case fans intalled correctly?

[nunothedude]

So i decided to do some cleaning and had to dismantle the case and the fans too, i was an idiot and didnt check wich position they were in so now idk if my pc is overheating since temps are reaching high levels like CPU 90c and GPU 78-80c, so how do i check if my fans are set up correctly? SINCE U CANT POST IMAGES, ill describe them to u, the front of paddles are facing the front for both cases

You can post images if you use something like imagur. What do you mean the of paddles are facing front for both cases? What cases? How many fans and where are they placed?

The rule of thumb is fans in the front blowing toward the back. Fans in the back or top blowing outward.

both are pushing air outside and air comes out of the back one (openings) since the front one has a cover there and im asuming it cant push air out that way since teres a cover there

Looks like you've got the front set to intake and back exhaust which is how you'd generally want them setup.

It does sound like things are running a bit hot, but without knowing room temperature and what your hardware is it's hard to say whether or not they're a problem.

Can see what the PSU and cooler are, but otherwise CPU/Motherboard/Memory/Case/total number of fans (I'm guessing just the single intake and exhaust) would be what we need to know.

i tried other games like bully ps2 and armored core 6 and AC6 runs at 72-73c so maybe it was just the apex game running that hot for whatever reason? ill do some more testing today

The front should be pulling air in and the rear exhausting it. If the front is pushing out thru front cover then it is backwards.

so the back fan needs to be inverted? they are both upping air into the back fan opening

You can feel the airflow. Follow the basic principle. Into the case from the front, out of the case from the back. Pictures can give us info on placement, but, your hand can more easily determine which way the air is moving. If you can't tell with your hand, then tear a piece of tissue paper and hold it by the fan. It will be pulled or pushed. That is the direction of airflow.

based on this and you guys feedback

i think it should be fine (sorry im a new and confused as hell rn) but yeah from what i can tell the front fan is pushing air into the components (so pushing air into the components) and the back fan is pushing the air out, since both fan follow the same direction, i have posted pics b4 but i camn post more if necessary
