If you can yes, it's a good idea to have a front fan to suck cool air in and blow it over the HDD's.

Basically, anywhere you can put a fan you should, and the bigger the better. Not only will it move air but it will actually be considerably quieter than an 800 mm.

i was just wondering if it would work, cause the location looks like it wouldnt get any air flow at all, idk where the air would come from for down there

sabashuali · 22-08-2006, 12:32 PM

It will get air flow and to a very important area - the HDD(s).
Ultra important!!!

Go with what max said.

my HDD is at like 27c, can it get much cooler with a fan added?

Matt555 · 22-08-2006, 07:22 PM

No but it's good to have as much airflow over your HDD as possible, plus having a good fan at the from helps with overall case cooling and airflow.

I think he meant he doesn't know what FPS he is getitng, not what FPS is.

If you want to be safe do this.

Only kidding.

I too would suggest putting the fan on, more the merrier
