Is my Akasa fan right?

[Eagle101]

Hiya guys!

On the side of my Antec900 i got a 120mm Akasa.

I was just cleaning my case today and removed the fan, then i put it back in. problem is i am not sure if i put the fan back in right lol.

The part with the sticker in the middle of the fan that says Akasa is facing my graphics card whilst the side with the bearings is facing me. is that correct?

It should be blowing into the case. If you look on the side of the fan, it often has an arrow and says "airflow".

Otherwise, look at the fins or if that's not enough, spin it and put your face to it to tell which way air is being pushed.

Well the fan can sometimes have a sticker on both sides..so best way to determine is to look at the bars supporting the center of the fan:
Shown in this picture:


The fan if it was on would be blowing air towards the camera...The side with the central suport is the exhaust side...

hope that helps

does it suck or does it blow?

a 2-page long stretch of toilet paper is your best friend for judging this sort of thing.

jut added for future searches.

Well i just put a tissue on the window and the fan sucked it, meaning its blowing on the inside of the case.
