I own a Thermaltake Contac 21 (the cheaper rival to the Hyper Exo 212) which comes with one 92mm fan that is 4 pin PWM with a fan speed from 1000~2400RPM.
My friend gave me an new Arctic 92mm fan ("Rev.2") as he didn't need it and it runs at 550 to 1,800 RPM. It also is also PWM.
The two fans will connect to my motherboard via the two 4pin PWM sockets and will both me attached to the cpu cooler making sure the air is moving from the front of the case to the back.
My question is:
Which fan do i want at the front of the cooler?
Do i want the faster fan at the front pulling more air into the cooler? Or do i want more hot air being drawn from the cooler to the back of the case? As my build is a budget build I don't want to buy anymore fans or anything.
My motherboard is a Msi Z97 Pc Mate. If my cpu is being stressed and getting hot, will my motherboard limit the faster fan to the speed of the arctic fan. Limiting both fans to a max. rpm of 1,800? Or will it simply max out both fans?
Thanks for any help, I know this is a peculiar one!
