I have two fans on the side of my case and i was wondering, should they blow or exaust??
My computer is a Dell Intel cel at 1.10Ghz, 384 mb of Ram, a GeForce 4 mx 420 64MB(with a heatsink), a 40G Western Digital hard drive 72000 and a 20G Maxtor.
Right now i have one blowing air towards the video card and the other one exausting heat off the hard drives. Is that my best option or should i change then around?:(

Thanks!
 
basically try it out as all cases are diferent!! as long as 1 is blowing in + the other is sucking out. take your temp @ mo + then switch the fans round + look @ temp again:cool: best bet is normally 2 have cold air being blown over ur cpu but as urs if pretty slow it wont get as hot.:happy:
 
Thanks heny!
Forgot to mention that it is a custom case.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
