My backup AMD computer was custom built for us, unfortunately, we skimped on the case. When I was working on the AMD comp today, I noticed that there was only one fan slot and NO FAN, my comp has NO FANS except for the obvious heatsink fan. So I measured the opening and ordered me a new 38.2 cfm 80mm sleeve fan.
Now, my question to you. The only fan slot is on the rear of the case, I know that the rear is mainly used for exhaust, but in the case of having only one fan, I'm not sure if it should be intake or not. If I used it for exhaust, would that pull enough air from the outisde to cool the comp down? Or would having an intake pull in more outside air?
Nubius, if you could help me too, I know you are the wiz of cooling fans
