I own this case, and how do you install the front fan? I'm looking for a place and there isn't one. I might have to use the top as intake.

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

your case should have come with 4 long thin screws, when u remove the front panel near the bottom you will see sets of screw holes in 4 corners, the fan gets mounted facing out from the front of case and that is where the long screws come into play, u will feed the long screws through the the entire fan holes and screw in to the case

Remove the front panel and look towards the bottom. The case. You should see 4 holes for the screws.

Pull the front plastic cover off and spot the four holes on the bottom of the front of the case. Use the long screws that came with the case and run it through the fan and into the holes. If you need more help, I can send pics of how I did it.

You have to remove the front panel. Once you do, you will see screwholes for a fan.

I have a Corsair H90 140 mm installed. I have it exhaust out of the back side of the case. Moved the existing fan to the bottom of the case. No issues, cools great.

Normally, a fan at the back of the case should exhaust air. You want to pull air all the way through the case, and the power supply (also normally at the back) pulls air out of the case - the back fan should assist this. If you use additional fans at the front of the case, you want these configured to intake air. I've also seen configurations where exhaust is at the top, and intake at the bottom, but you want to make sure to include the disk drives in the air flow pattern.

You have to measure the case location where you want to put the fan. But in most situations, there should be no problems installling a new fan

I depends on which direction you mount it. Many people prefer on a multi fan case to exhaust through the back and top with the side and front sucking air in.

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

You can use it either way. For me personally I have the front case fan blowing air in. The rear case fan blowing out. Two top fans blowing out and two side fans blowing in. My CPU Temp is at 25 Celsius at no load.

No, you need a case with a 120mm rear or top for fan. This case only has a 92mm in front and rear.

Yes you can put a fan in the front of the case. There is a dual fan assembly for the top of the case. Check with the case Mfr.. Very hard to find. It is thinner than most fan assemblies.

Mount? No, not without modifying the cooler. Set it up top? Probably fine. Not sure if it would make any difference. I'll order a 140mm fan and place it on top to see if it helps temps.

The fan sits over the fan opening in the back of the case. Remember that heat rises and more can be drawn out with a couple of fans on top. Just remember to use canned air to keep them clean.

i currently have a h100i mounted in the top of the case and its close but fits fine using only 2 fans. if you were to use a push/pull setup it would need to be mounted elsewhere in the case.

I can't speak for CM, but it would be beneficial for those of us who remove the 200mm fan in order to install a dual 120mm fan hydro system in which the fans would be configured as intakes for cooling the radiator. Having a top filter adds to the versatility of this case.

The airflow is actually pretty good. You can install two fans on top pushing air out. You can install fans in front pulling air in. There are gaps with vents along the top and in the front that do not look like they allow much flow, but they are just fine. The power supply in this case is installed upside down as there is a vent on the bottom. If you did not turn it upside down, I would recommend it.

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (&lt;40 C).

The case comes with fans, but they are not the best in quality so I changed them up with aftermarket ones. I have a "CASE FAN NOCTUA | NF-F12 PWM RT 120mm fan" in the rear as intake, and I have a "COOLMASTER MEGAFLOW 200MM BLUE FAN" in the front as intake. This diagram shows exactly how I set up the positive pressure within my case as I replicated exactly from this source. Check it out http://cdn.overclock.net/6/6f/6ffa3f0a_rtqJu9P.jpeg

I'd recommend an inch from the cases side panel if it's an inch then install it with the logo inside the case so the fan pulls air in because thermaltake cases usually have filters on the side of the case you'll want the air going into the case from the sides and the front. While out the top and back.
