Which way do the intake and exhaust fans go?

[BigGameHunter]

I am building a PC this summer. I know I need both exhaust and intake fans... but which way do they go in the case? I am using a Cooler Master HAF 912 and I have this chart.

To determine the airflow direction, turn on your PC and plug your fans in. Don't screw them in yet. Put your hand around the fans and you'll get your answer. Normally the fans will have an arrow on the fan shroud, pointing in the direction of airflow.

No you don't. Not everybody is doing Prime95 24x7 or run the latest game hours on end. If you do, pardon moi.

Are you asking what direction your particular fans blow (should be labeled on the fans), or are you asking where in the case should they blow (your picture shows is correct, intake bottom, exhaust top).

Case airflow presented is correct , most fans are labeled with flow direction.

Thank you for your helpful answer, too
