Hi everyone,

The 560 Ti reference cooling design has a normal co-axial fan instead of a centrifugal one. Does this mean air is blown into the case? I ask this because the shroud looks very closed and the rear panel is very open, indicating that air will be travelling through it somewhat.

I only ask because the PC i am thinking of getting one for uses positive pressure cooling, and so could do with a card that actively ejects air out of the back of the case rather than blowing it back in.

I think the reference fan draws air in from inside the case, and directs it across the cooler and mostly out the back of the case.
I think it will be the most effective cooler.

Other designs are not so good at ejecting the hot air from the case. They will show up well in open testbed benchmarks, but not in a case.

Not mostly out the case. There is a small gap between the shroud and thermal plate that allows for airflow from the cooler into the case even though some does exit the case through the i/o plate.

The GTX 560 does not have an external exhaust fan, like on the 570/580. Although some does trickle outside through the i/o plate, most stays inside the case. I don't think EVGA has come out with their GTX 560 EE model, like they did with the GTX 460. The differences in case temperatures is ~4c, but since you are more interested in creating negative air pressure, you might be limited to a 570/580.
