Fans are one of those PC components that seem simple until you start building. Intake, exhaust, top-mounted, bottom-mounted, push-pull, positive pressure… suddenly you’re staring at tiny arrows on a fan frame trying to remember which direction the damn air is going.
How confident are you setting up PC airflow yourself?

Air goes in. Air comes out. Everything between those two events is apparently a science. What’s your golden rule for keeping a PC cool?
Exhaust higher than intake and in the middle is the science. If not water cooled, CPU fan and exhaust fan are aligned n the hot air is funnelled through a plastic component.
