These fans perform best in "Free Air" conditions. The fans on the back of a Typical PC case is a good example. They can be used on the Front or Top positions if the case grille is highly open. Dust Filters will SIGNIFICANTLY impact airflow style fans and will need to be cleaned frequently. These fans are often low noise and low performance and can be run at full speed. 2) High 'Static Pressure' fans are good for flow resistant applications such as a liquid cooling radiators, dust filters and highly restrictive openings. Popular case designs these days are solid faced with openings only on the sides. If the solid front is at least 1" from the fan and the side vents are mostly open, then moderate pressure fans will perform well. However if the solid front panel is closer than 1" or the side inlets are obscured then the user will need higher pressure rated fans. If the front is less than 1/4" from the solid panel, the end user probably shouldn't use that case or worry about populating those fan positions except as jewelry as they won't be moving very much air at all! Another thing to look at is the airflow path for front case fans. If the air comes in the side, turns 90 to the back and enters the fan AND has 1" or more clearance, then they'll probably have a good time with lots of fans. However, I've seen several cases where the fan body is actually forward of the side vents so the air comes in, turns 90 forward, then 90 towards center, then 90 towards the back. These cases are going to have a bad time with all but the most powerful fans. - Bobby Kinstle, Corsair Thermal Engineer --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:945284137] in I have don...
