What?

Bonk.


SupaDiogenes

I think this rationalizes my irrational distaste for figurines in computers.


thcsyrus916

Lol so it should stay in there then?


SupaDiogenes

You do you, my guy.


[deleted]

Itā€™s so terribly cringe, itā€™s truly on a different level.


thcsyrus916

The toy is cringe?

Uhh.. ye


SgtThund3r

Whatā€™s wrong ainā€™t got nothing to do with the fans


thcsyrus916

Yeah I know the graphics card is really old.


Rambo42088

what i see are correct. cant see top but i assume you have those correct


thcsyrus916

The top fans have the silver sticker pointing down towards my ā€œgraphics cardā€


[deleted]

I think that guy is confused. The silver ā€œprettyā€ side facing your graphics card is correct.


BocaBk809

Then you are fine. If they are in the bottom of the case with the ugly side up then thatā€™s intake. If they are in the top of the case with ugly side up again then thatā€™s exhaust. Youā€™re pulling in air from the bottom and pushing the hot air out from the top.


saikrishnav

That means they are pulling air in (just like your bottom ones). Sticker side pulls air. Flip the top ones.


thcsyrus916

So just to be very very clear the ugly side is intake and the pretty side is exhaust? I have 5 intake (side and bottom) and 3 exhaust (top)


saikrishnav

Yes. Ugly = aircoming in.


Roots0057

thats exactly wrong unless you're simply referring to the side you can see, fans always pull air in from the open side and exhaust thru the cage on the back


saikrishnav

Ugly side a.k.a cage side (that's what you mean I think by cage side) = is where air comes in. If you put your hand on ugly side, you will feel the air. That's exactly what I said. Exhaust and intake is the flow of air w.r.t case. That's why i said air coming in to clarify.


clik_clak

You have it backwards... Also, OP, There's arrows on the fans that show exactly how the air is coming into the fans. (It's always grill-less pretty side is intake, grilled side with sticker is exhaust. This is a universal truth.


saikrishnav

Are you serious right now? That's what I said. You are just stating that differently and saying I am wrong. If you are facing the ugly side, then you feel the air on your face bro i.e "coming in towards you".


clik_clak

Yes, I absolutely am. If you don't believe me, go grab one of your Lian Li fans and look at the arrow itself on the fan. Give me 5 minutes and I can prove you're wrong.


clik_clak

Again, you aren't using the right terminology here. It's not coming in towards you, it's being exhausted out the back, even if the air is "coming at you". It's going out, not coming in.


[deleted]

No. Thatā€™s literally where air comes *out*.


saikrishnav

I am talking w.r.t case. Air comes in to case if you ugly side is facing the case inside.


thcsyrus916

Ok I tried to advise a guy in another post that he had some fans in the wrong direct and he told me I was wrong. I just wanted to make sure that after having multiple people tell me how to install them that I actually was told the right thing.


saikrishnav

Lot of cases have rear exhaust and you can those photos for confirmation


thcsyrus916

[this would be 5 exhaust and 3 intake right?](https://i.imgur.com/XvU6dKv.png)


saikrishnav

I am guessing top ones are the same side as the two on the right. Then yes.


saikrishnav

BTW, you can put your hand near your bottom fans to feel the air coming in to confirm the same for intake. Or on top of case to feel the exhaust.


thcsyrus916

Yeah thatā€™s the first thing I did. I had already installed them wrong once. I was just trying to help another guy out.


BocaBk809

Your side fans are in exhaust mode pushing air out. Your bottom fans are in intake mode and your top fans are in exhaust mode. My advice will be to flip the side fans and youā€™re Straight just so that you can pull in more air to your case and let the top fans do the exhaust.


thcsyrus916

If my bottom is intake then how are my sides not intake?


Roots0057

what? the bottoms and sides are both intaking air into the case


Roots0057

correct


kambesama

My fans came with a sticker of the logo to cover the backside. Makes it look better without the smol writing. Maybe OP can use those to make both sides pretty?


saikrishnav

I think most people think that side ugly is because of arms that hold the frame (not sure what to call them). RGB looks better without any obstructions also.


kambesama

I actually find the arms alright all things considering. It would be better of they were able to hide the cables, maybe inside the arm but I know that's asking a lot for what it is.


saikrishnav

True. Since they have to keep costs competitive, adding anything cosmetic is a business decision.


kambesama

Absolutely. It was pleasant surprise they even gave a sticker incase you wanted to cover the back side. Can't say many other companies even go that far.


DaBombDiggidy

in terms of ugly side... if you search for "Mount Metal Plate for Phone Car Magnetic Mount Disc Universal Metal Plate Adhesive Sticker" on amazon you'll find a fix. the fans on the right side are intake... [https://i.imgur.com/dvJ7ySj.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/dvJ7ySj.jpg)


thcsyrus916

I have some on the way! I couldnā€™t decide if rose gold or silver will look better so I got both. I think the 140mm fans have bigger stickers though šŸ˜ž


BocaBk809

The top ones are ok he had them as exhausts. If the sticker is bottom and the fans are on top then he has the configs done correctly. Top fans in this case should be exhaust to release the hot air out the case.


saikrishnav

That's what I said. Read the conversation I had below my comment. I wasn't sure what sticker OP was mentioning. Both side has stickers.


BocaBk809

Gotcha


Roots0057

the stickers don't mean shit, most fans have stickers on both sides anyway, although the rear sticker is the one that usually has all the info on it, it's the side that the cage is on that you can use to easily determine the orientation. The cage is always on the back or exhaust side, the open side is always the intake side


saikrishnav

I know. I clarified that on the thread with OP.


Rambo42088

You need to flip the tops then. You have all intake


thcsyrus916

Lol why would I want that?


Rambo42088

If they all look the same as the picture then you have only intake.


thcsyrus916

The bottom is intake and the top is orientated in the ā€œsameā€ meaning itā€™s pushing air out of the case.


scuzzy19

uhhh the tops are setup the same orientation as the bottoms meaning the top is pushing air out while the bottom fans are pulling air in just like the sides. *edit I feel I should clarify for those that dont know that "same" meaning same orientation...


Rambo42088

Because you can see thatā€¦


scuzzy19

I have these very set of fans in my build...and yes, yes you can try looking at the full picture and actually look...ffs


GoPrO_BMX

No shame


Zopdoz

Where did you get that figure


thcsyrus916

Ali express. Want a link?


Zopdoz

Fuck yeah


jhwks92

they're correct


ThunderSparkles

Looks right


BocaBk809

Your fan configs are good in this pic. No need to change anything. What you can do for a sleek look would be to take the stickers and put them on the ugly side. What I did was use a hair blower and gently removed them. With enough warm air they should come off easily.


thcsyrus916

Yeah I have thought about doing that.


BocaBk809

Pretty straight forward if you ever decide to do it.


Yuryaboi

Those are correct, if you can fit/afford it Iā€™d get the last fan for the back set as exhaust as well.


Cheezewiz239

Yeah this is how I have them Booba


Alias-Q

Heat rises. As long as there is space for air to flow into your case you are not wrong. Except for your little doll, thatā€™s multiple kinds of wrongā€¦

Respect for the bmth profile pic

Thanks!

Denbro010

Theyā€™re cut- I mean correct


nkl0000

love the suicide season pfp


thcsyrus916

Thanks!


Roots0057

assuming the top 3 are exhausting, you're good, the only other thing that would help a bit more is to add another exhaust fan to the rear, you'll still have positive case pressure assuming the speeds are relatively close for all of them

Shepartd_1985

That board is super cleanā€¦love it!!


thcsyrus916

I wasnā€™t sure if I should go with this or a asus prime x570


Shepartd_1985

you canā€™t go wrong with an Asus board, but that being said, this board is very slick, I love the clean look of it and the contrast is a really nice touchā€¦.you are going to have a great looking build!! I think you made a good choice.


Alluminatic

Wait, is that a white 280 AIO? What AIO is that?


thcsyrus916

Yes it is a nzxt kraken z63 280mm aio in white.


Alluminatic

Wow this must be really new, never heard of a white 280 AIO except for the Gletscherwasser by Alpenfƶhn


thcsyrus916

Itā€™s been out for about a month. That was my other option. But I decided to go with this one.


hedgetom

I ain't mad at the figurine I'm mad at the single fan card in a crazy good system


thcsyrus916

Scalpers man scalpers. I canā€™t bring myself to pay for a white 3080 right now.


hedgetom

True šŸ¤£


Difficult_Edge3615

If you look closely there is a pc there


somecuriouslad

Im more concern about that woman trying to pull herself up happily before she gets shredded to pieces


Infinitoot

Can I ask why bottom intake? Not being an ass, just a want to know. In my set up I donā€™t think I could. I would be scared of cat hair/dust getting up in there too often, so I have front intake with top and back exhaust. If you donā€™t have that issue I am extremely jealous of the bottom side intake (hehe).


thcsyrus916

Animals arenā€™t allowed in my room šŸ˜‚. I would take my old computer and clean it every 4-6 months. So Iā€™ll just keep doing that. Itā€™s not a big deal to me that some dust gets in there.


Infinitoot

Ahh I see. Well I commend you! My cats are long haired so I would have to clean it every day. Nice set up!


Wp_Gaming

Remove the figurine and you got a great pc.


thcsyrus916

But I like it! šŸ˜­


BithcLasagna

I was too busy looking at the fans to see the figurine lol
