Hi.
I have a question. People thinking bout installing extra and powerful fan inside PC. The question is, which must be consider more? Is it the air flow into casing is more important or air flow (suck) from inside PC to out is more important?

In my opinion...

1)air flow into casing can cause problem like it will suck all dust that can't see by our naked eyes rather than reduce temperature inside PC. Dust can act as an insulator and cause case temperatures to rise. Dust can act as a sponge and absorb moisture from the air, eventually causing possible corrosion of components.

2) air flow out from PC (Sucking), i think this would be better because it will suck all hot and high temperature air inside PC and even DUST. So can say, its better.

What ur guys think?? Lets we analyse it and give comment!  cool2.gif

ur perceptions of dust is a lil off imho.....

1/ yeah air sucking in will suck in dust....but with filters its a good thing...then u can CONTROL ur dust intake to a few certain points only...

2/ suck out dust? if got oso very little...but if u concentrate on exhausting air in ur case... the negative pressure will cause dust to be sucked in from every other place like nooks and crannies of ur side panel, rom bays, usb ports etc etc. harder to CONTROL ur dust intake.

imho negative pressure is better than positive...just make sure the difference isnt that much.

also like hondy_wave mentioned...concentrating on exhausting hot air from critical areas should be practiced... i do that for my GCs and temps are good.
