Re: question on cooling

The more fresh air you have comming into the box the better. Air you bring in must(better) be brought out at the same speed or with the same mm fan remeber hot air rises so the fan taking air out of the box should be at the top of your case. Now back to question are you asking if you should attach your fan to your heatsink?

Are you talking about a table fan or an actual processor fan?I'm not sure but my casing is sealed up and there's only one cpu fan.I don't even know whether there's enough room for another fan ( as large as the one opposite to my harddisk) can fit in my mobo....like,I want a fan for my graphics card slot but how to attach them?

Re: question on cooling

When you speak of panel I dont know exactly where your talking about?Considering so many types of box and motherboard designs come into mind.Take some pictures of it and post it.
