Computer fans - 3 tips on how to determine airflow direction - intake vs exhaust

[@ScottsPC]

On a totally different note, here's my impossible but true story of becoming a KZbin content creator - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYuTm3SLgMaYd5o

[@dmitriymoisyeyvich2056]

x for "x"haust. that's the easiest eay to remember

[@mentallyfatiguedseagull1413]

That’s how I remember exchange

[@georgemartinezza]

X evokes me movies. 😯

[@natedagreat6704]

Do I look at the outside or the inside

[@georgemartinezza]

@@natedagreat6704 each fan has an arrow that indicates flow connect it to test😎 or the dust inside my pc !!!

[@baylonjasfer.a1365]

yes that's correct, but i remember my x's😂😂

[@kevinhhn]

simple way to remember : back of the fan (exhaust) (air blowing out) , front of the fan (intake) (air blowing in) . The front of the fan should usually have a logo. Also fans mounted on the front of the case should always be intakes, fans mounted on the rear and on top of the case should always be exhaust.

[@conget]

Thats how I remember as well. Factory always tries to put their 'fancy' logo on place where you can see it. That is indeed the front

[@nightwing100T]

So if you have an aio on the top of the case you want the fans to have the logo?

[@Hakaisuuu]

@@nightwing100T ye

[@peterafilms]

So basically the exhaust fans should be upside down (logo facing upwards) for top and rear same applies (logo facing outside the case) This correct?

[@papaversomniferum5247]

The top is not always exhaust fans..... sheesh you’ll have negative pressure, which in some cases (cases lol) is a good thing, however my pc I have equal intake and exhaust

[@hroy16231]

Thanks man.. that "x" for exhaust helps a lot.

[@olix6240]

Scott my man, thank you so much for educating me on how to properly put on the fans, god bless

[@ScottsPC]

Glad the video helped! ⚡️ Good luck to you! ⚡️

[@2142clonewars]

I love how the thumbnail has the answer. No bullshit, just answeres. Love it.

[@CasualGamerPlays]

Best video i've found so far on KZbin. No stupid background music, not too technical, and just the right amount of information/details on how to determine airflow direction. Thank you!

[@adamfink8730]

You explained this imba way that my 5 year old would know which way the air flows. Masterfully done. Thank you!

[@_jeffrey_williams]

To the point! Grill side blows air at you when facing it... can't believe how long it took me to figure this out.

[@ScottsPC]

Yes...if you don't know....you don't know...computer fans work the opposite of a traditional house fan...thanks for the comment!

[@patdavbel3862]

I build my pc.. This is the most simple and yet straight forwad. X for exhaust...amazing

[@ScottsPC]

Thank you! May you pc build be AWESOME!!!

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

Thank you. I just bought a pre-built and the fans in the front were set to exhaust. This helped me know the correct way to switch them around.

[@ScottsPC]

Excellent!

Short and easy to understand with explicit explanations and real life examples (like helicopter). Well done!

[@akuryo8157]

Tip three was so simple I don’t know how I didn’t get that before! Thank you so much!

[@tachometer-flac]

Thanks a lot. Wasn't sure if my fans were facing the right way. They weren't.

[@joshuayangg]

Thank you so much, most pc builders assume you already know this but i was so confused which direction was intake and exhaust. This video helpoed me understand

[@BigBassChasin]

Such a simple thing you made it so easy to understand I don’t know why I was so stumped on this at first 😂

[@windom666]

Short and to-the-point. Great video. Also, despite what was mentioned in a previous comment, not all logos are on the intake. My fan that prompted visiting this video is at least one exception.

[@pogtuber5146]

I think it's important to think of it in terms of what the fan blades are doing. People might get confused that the sweeping curve (convex) rotates into the air in a sweeping motion, when in reality it's the concave side of the blades that rotate into the air in order to "scoop" the air and pull the air through.

[@Chris_WG]

Great video brother. I am definitely one also LOVING the X means eXhaust! Fantastic and simple to remember. Cheers to you - I subbed and liked! Keep rocking it! 😎👍🍻

@@ScottsPC BTW can I ask why many people use Intake position as a Exhaust fan

[@ScottsPC]

@@hypernova-brawlstars4577 not sure I understand your question.... It just depends where on your computer tower you place and orientate fans to work as intake or exhaust... Normally the airflow goes through the front of the computer and out the back... Is this what you mean??

which way do i put it when installing it in my pc?

[@MemeGamerPc]

I think this explains why my fans were going crazy. I bought a pre-built computer and the top fans were had a dust filter on it. I guess that's unnecessary, right? I removed the top filter an the PC is running much quieter now.

[@ScottsPC]

I removed my top filter as well a while ago for better airflow...
