What direction do the fans blow? Can they be reversed? My lapton blows out the bottom, and most coolers blow up against that airflow

they pull the air down and away from the laptop. Mine does an excellent job and you can locate the fans so they are directly below you case vents. A good buy.

On the one I got, the fans blow air up against the bottom of the laptop. If you look closely at the fan casings, the fans can easily be popped out and flipped to blow air away from the laptop. You would just need a screw driver to remove the metal fan grates so the fans could be flipped and then you can screw the grates onto the other side of the fans.

The go in clockwise direction. No they can't be reversed, but they can be adjusted and moved around. You can control tr flow of the fan

are you having cooling issues? between the PSU fan and a slot fan exhausting near the CPU, you shouldn't add turbulence to your case. there is enough venting in this case, that with a proper cooling fan on the CPU that you shouldn't need extra. But you should always create a "flow" when aiming your fans.one side of the case is a intake, the other is exhaust. I make the rear a exhaust and place a HD cooling bay in the 5.25 bay.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation. I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case. at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

Its a fan man lol. Has 3 settings to blow. If you want it to suck I suppose you can just turn it around to face the other way.

I don't believe the fan angles downward. There are 3 speeds, and it does cool the space down quite a bit, the fan also oscillates or can be stationary, but I don't think it will quite work as you are hoping.

Never had heat issue. the air flows very well. air comes in from the front of the case and goes out from the back. and the original fans are high quality so you should have no problem with cooling!

You want the fan to push the air out of the exhaust vent. On my fan, the housing outlet is positioned so that if the fan turns one way, the air is blown into the outlet. If it turns the other way it isn't and the fan is less effective. I suspect most housings are similarly designed.

honestly I haven't experience any and I'm running an R9 290 in there. Air flow will be restricted, I just swap out the intake fans for some SP and dropped my GPU temp from mid 40's to high 30's on idle, and no PSU problem as long you have the intake fan on the PSU facing down. I love this case. So clean and minimalist, I would not crossfire/sli in unless they were some Blower Cards.

The bottom one may not be usable depending on the length of your power supply. I was not able to get a fan to fit because the cables coming from mine were just too close. I do have 4 fans in use though, along with the CPU fan and that is plenty in my opinion. Stock fans are usable, but average at best. I moved them to the front and side and have high end 120mm in the back and top. Airflow is excellent in my opinion. I do really like this case due to the price and features.

I use it in the reverse way since i have a 120MM, but the case supports a 140mm fan. It's been in this configuration for a few years now with no issues.

I do not see any way to reverse the air flow itself. It has rudimentary controls i.e. a dial which will activate the fan to turn on or off when it detects it is warmer or cooler air to circulate the air upward. The register fits into an opening (a standard air register hole), so which ever way the register is facing is the direction the air will be directed.

In terms of air volume, they're not the best, they can't push that much air through the air filters and get it to the center of the case. If you mean the noise, they're almost silent so you won't have any problems with that. The back fan is very silent as well and I feel like it can push more air than the front ones. As for gaming, the interior of your case may get hot, but this depends on how good your CPU and GPU fans are. I'd recommend not removing the case fans, but adding more to the top to get better airflow.

The fan blows up at the laptop. In my case it doesn't blow "into" it, as there are no air intake vents on the underside - but my laptop has metal underneath the plastic across the entire bottom of the laptop, presumably to spread the heat, and this helps dissipate that quite well.

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this. Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

the awe81us 2 "SMALL" fans blow air towards the bottom of the laptop, however they are noisy, at least the two I have are, and are not adequate enough for my 17" laptops. Plus the two laptops slide off the front when tilted up. Says it supports upto 17" laptops, well, they hang off the side and slide down the front, not enough lip or rubber in front to keep in on.

There are two 80mm fan mounts for the bottom half of the case. They are intended to exhaust air, but you could turn the fans around and draw air in. The fans would point straight at one of the drive bays.
