Prope Airflow Direction for Rear And Side Fan Chassis???
ahm i would like to know how the airflow direction of my chassis fan should be.

i only have 1 70mm chassis Fan which is located in the side and when i bought my pc a year ago, the side Fan was installed blowing out the air already( not intake)..
im planning to Buy tomorow an additional 70mm fan for the rear. to make it 2 Fan in chassis, 1 fan to the side and 1 fan to the rear..
i can only add 1 70mm fan since my MOBO only got a single extra or available fan connector. and the only available slot for additional fan in my chassis is only at the back/rear which has a dimension of 70mm.
I dont have a budget now for a new Chassis because i just bought My GTX 750 ti.

my old and current Chassis : http://www.openpinoy.com/shop/step1.php?number=4020

i also want to know if there is some sort of an adaptor which accommodates 2 Fan connector(which is equivalent to 2(two) 4-pin connector) to be connected to my mobo extra single 4 pin Fan connector?

tnx xD

No it's just something I'd set the side fan for, you can have it exhaust but I'd prefer it intake along with the front, that way you get air to all your case

Your case has poor provision for airflow.
But, fortunately, your parts do not need much.
The purpose of fans is to get hot air out of the case.
My suggestion is to mount both 70mm fans as exhaust in the rear.

Try other arrangements if you wish, but I think 2 in the rear will end up being the best.

but i bought my pc the side Fan was installed Air outflow. it draws out the air. so do you think that they installed it in wrong way before?
