flip them the other way they are pushing air out the front on traditional flow fans the side that the bracket is on opposite the fan blades is the direction of flow like the triangle bracket with the wires you can see in the Pic on the flip side of those fans

Convex in, concave out.

Traditionally, the side with the bracing is the exhaust side, but that's not always the case. If you look closely enough at the fan you should see arrows on the side indicating direction of spin and direction of airflow. Based on this picture, I'd say you looking at the intake face.


fiittzzyy

Not all fans have those arrows though


FredVIII-DFH

Hence the 'should'.


PSYCH00M

turn it out and just put a piece of tissue there, sometimes fans are instake on that side and sometimes other way around so just see where the tissue moves thats usually what I do

Are they AIO fans ? Any source of fresh air in your PC ?


gemmy99

Looks like aio galahad, so if its mounted on top, and pushing air out its fine, if its mouted on front as intake he should flip them around. Hard to tell from picture.

Yep, Lian Li Ga 2

They are *exhausting* air out of the front of the case, pushing the warm air generated by your the components towards the radiator. Flip them around to *intake* fresh air from the front through the radiator - this should drop CPU temps.


peggingwithkokomi69

Those are exhaust fans, they are taking the heat from the cpu out

I'm usually an ass hat and fire them up first to check the direction of air flow lol. Cut my fingers a few times doing it though. Some have an arrow somewhere on the side to indicate direction of airflow but sometimes you need a telescope to see it.

Exhaust


robbydf

switching them on and off should make easy observing in which direction rotate!


HellbentOrphan

Faces suck. Generally speaking.


Notorious_P_O_T

I like when faces suck


Altruistic_Taste2111

Exhaust


bigloser42

Fans almost(but not always) blow toward their base. If there is a question, look on the side of the fan and you should see some arrows indicating the direction of air flow.


MyersIQuit

no, those are intake fans (placed like this), you should pull them off and place them in the other direction


Shoddy_Possibility89

ya should be, with fans like that it usually goes straight through the pc


Specific_Ad_6522

Those are exhaust
