I ask Because the CPU fan blows air out, so would putting this fan as intake negate the CPU fan? Where as if I put it as exaust it stands to reason that it helps suck that CPU fans hot air out the side the the case?Other fans are just the rear exaust fan and PCI slot fan. 120MM Side fan over the CPU, intake or exaust?
If you are using a cooler that blows air directly above it (like the stock intel coolers), then you should have an exhaust fan there to help move the hot air out faster.120MM Side fan over the CPU, intake or exaust?

yea its just a stock cooler on the e4400 cpu and the exaust on the side panal is dead over the CPU. So ill exaust then if im understanding right.

yeah you want Cool air directly on it and even more so if you OC

do not put exhaust over the CPU Heat rises have the exhaust on the top
blowing air out does not cool it faster then blowing air on it.

While, the most common ones like the Zalman 9500, tuniq tower, and freezer pro 7 blow air horizontally, some like the big typhoon or the stock intel cooler blow air directly up, away from the motherboard, so having an exhaust fan directly above it would be far more beneficial than having an intake fan there.

[/QUOTE] The CPU heatsink fan is irrelevant to the IN front/side, OUT back/top rule. The rule is, as I stated, inflexible.
the CPU fan when the tower is standing up, blows air to the side, so if i understand you i should infact have it exaust? lol sorry.. fans are more complecated then i thought.
[QUOTE=''GoogleHoo'']the CPU fan when the tower is standing up, blows air to the side, so if i understand you i should infact have it exaust? lol sorry.. fans are more complecated then i thought.[/QUOTE] It's pretty simple. The CPU fan should blow air whatever direction it's made to and you should not switch anything with it.The CASE fans should intake on the front and side, and blow out on the rear and top. So your side panel CASE fan should blow IN.Here's a diagram I found with Google, although it's not directly showing fans or a top blowhole fan (nigh mandatory these days). http://www.compute-aid.com/images/airflow.gif

Try is both ways and observe your temperature, see which way works the best for YOU. Who cares what works best in someone elses situation. But are you sure your stock HSF pushes air up away from the CPU and not down towards it? My stock Intel HSF blows air down towards, so I would assume yours would too. If that is the case then almost definitely the side fan would be better as intake.
