I apologise if this is in the wrong place, however I am buying a new fan (hopefully high end) for the back of my PC and I am curious as to which way to put it. Watch the video to see more, please help, thanks for any replies!

PS I apologise for my voice and the dodgy snapping sound.

PPS Not sure as to why it's in 240p, may be because it's still processing or because it's been compressed, either way you can see fine.

For a typical cooling setup, you want it blowing air out the back of the PC. Make sure that it fits the mounting point, and if you can get some tiny rubber washers, put them on so the screws are holding the fan with the washers, this will help reduce fan noise and buzz from vibration.

I would want it blowing in to make sure that there is as good air flow as possible, also make sure your fans are dusted that also help. hope i help.

I would say the second one is good, 1st and 2nd are good but the third is horrible (past experience)


The second one is the cheapest though which worries me, and the first one looks the most decent to me.
