Hey guys I have an Antec 900 case and I was wondering about the fan in the back. Should it be blowing air towards the processor or should it be drawing air out? (the sticker on the fan is pointed inwards at the moment) I was fiddling around with the insides so I took the fan off and now I'm wondering if I put it back the right way.

Does this have anything to do with my 8800GT being 65 degrees? Kind of odd seeing how the Antec 900 has all these fans.

Thanks

The rear fan needs to blow air out of the case.

ok I did that and all my temperatures have gone up by 2 or 3 degrees. I have 2 intakes at the front, exhaust in the back and at the top.

Turn up the fan speed of the 8800GT to 55% or more.
