#Side fans position

How are your side fans positioned, it seems like exhaust instead of intake position ๐ค
They are exhaust but they aren't really doing much. The bottom three are intake. The top rad has 6 fans, three for intake and 3 for exhaust.
The side fans are really just for looks and some exhaust.
I've asked once about side fans...
Though your setup is a little bit different so I might be wrong.
Hope he won't mind if I summon him, I'm still learning and I don't want to say anything wrong. ๐
@acoustic cave
they are effectively 3 fans
not sure why you have 6 fans on it
air is not that compressible
so rather feed it with side intake
From understanding when dealing with air, it's much harder to push air through a bunch of straws [radiator] than it is to suck air.
Think of a car. Radiator fans are behind the rad in an pull through position to pull in air as you drive for efficiency. So when having a push pull set up on a rad. The bottom create airflow towards the radiator while the top three pull air through for efficiency.
Thats why I have 6 on the rad. My Temps stay at like in the 30s for idle. The three sides are mainly for looks rather than do anything.
