Hey guys,
I recently build my pc and noticed none of the fans were blowing cool air in. So dremeled my sidepanel and put in a 80mm fan.
I made a sketch of my fans and was wondering if you guys had some pointers to improve the airflow.

thnx

General rule for fans in cases:
Front, Bottom, Side: In
Top, Rear, PSU: Out

Dude, I cant tell anything from that paint image. Post a picture.

If you have an old non overclocked system then dont even worry about it. Low powered systems usually have just fans blowing air out because that creates a vacuum and cool air just comes in from the vents anyway.
