Basically, my CPU fan sits about 3 inches behind this place in the case with holes in it. But it isn't pushing the air out of the holes - it mainly is just blowing hot air around. Maybe it's a dumb idea...I measured the side case window and it is a 112mm. To me, it seems useless for me to put a fan here...with the processor fan literally right behind what would be the side case fan. But the processor fan isn't doing anything to blow that out. Would I be better off to just get a stronger processor fan?
The CPU fan Pulls air into the CPU heatsink, Not away from it.
Why the fan? Is it overheating? If so, buy a better CPU fan.
