Just ordered the Xigmatek HDT S1283 HS and was wondering which way the fan is supposed to face, towards the front of the case or the back of the case, I cant seem to find the answer anywhere in the user manuals or on their site.

fan blows towards the rear, the fan goes on the opposite side and blows in the cooler and out the back

in rare cases towards the top (pun)

you want air flow to be smooth like a wave in the ocean - it should move from front and bottom to rear and top

Thanks for the reply thats what I thought was supposed to happen but with my current HS, the Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro the air is actually sucked in by the fan and blown out the back heres the illustration on its box, I just wanted to make sure I had this one right the first time.

Dude the ACF 7 is blowing air through the fins, its not sucking air through the fins, this is the same way you should mount a single fan on the xiggy.
