Hi,

Ive placed a new fan in the front of my cooler master elite 311 and as of now it is sucking in cool air. is this right or should i change the direction so that the hot air will be blown out?? since air rises and the heat develops. i m not sure. Please advise.

Generally, air is sucked in thru the front and bottom and exhausted thru the top and back. You COULD do the opposite, suck in air from the top and back and exhaust thru the front and bottom, but you might receive better temperatures the other way. Best thing to do is to experiment and see what gives you lower temperatures.
