Good work! However , when I was a total beginner, I thought I would have 2 fans in the front sucking in air, and 2 at the rear blowing it all out. So I tried.. And uhm,I was not even amazed. On my new case I have 3 fans only, 1 rear,1 top, and one on the "window". All sucks the hot air out of the case. And now I can see a difference, one of them the Tt fan has adjustable speed, putting it on max really sucks the hot air out.

i also prefer the negative pressure setup

Hi there, I can see that this thread is very old, but I will try anyway to ask a question, considering that it seems that it is the right place for airflow related stuff. I want to install a 12v fan, 120 mm x 120 mm, inside my big fridge, so that, inside the fridge, the cold air at the bottom can go up, the goal being having a more uniform temperature inside the fridge. My question: should the fan be at the bottom? Pointing up? Should I build some kind enclosure for directing the flow? Thanks for the help in case someone read this msg.
