Rosewill FORT120 Fan Configurations
Because the high-speed fan used in other cooler tests was the FORT120's base fan, a different method was chosen to add a second test with this unit. Corsair’s configuration gave us an idea.
After closing the above system and testing it with fans in the traditional orientation, we decided to find out what kind of advantage reversing the exhaust fan and blowing cool air into the sink might offer to a more conventional heatsink/fan combination. Because the FORT120 sink is offset to one side, facing it to blow in the opposite direction required turning it 180° for this second alternative test.
