Question One of my AIO fans is upside down ?

[Just_John]

I recently built my pc and it is my first time using an AIO (h100i Elite Capellix XT ) and after getting everything up and running a couple of days ago I noticed one of the fans on the AIO is upside down. so one is blowing into the case while the other is blowing into the radiator. So far I've had great performance and it will be a bit of a hassle to take it out again so I don't want to do it unless I know it to be neccessary.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Might want to add an image of the fans with respect to their orientation in your case/build. You should have both fans in either push or pull, not half way in between.

Might want top also mention the make and model of your case.

It shouldn't be too hard, to swap the fan to opposite direction.
And yes - you need to fix it.

Ok Thanks Ill get on that, also if you dont mind answering which orientation should I choose. my first instinct is to flip the one that seems upside down which is the one on the right but is that even the right move

Is radiator on top of the case ? Both fans should be used as exhaust so it's left one that has to be turned around.
