NEVER trust romanian people to do your computer for you! Thats my advice, but i need help. I have no idea how to switch a fan from blowing air in, to blowing it out. The dumbasss'ssss put all 5 of my fans blowing in, and im not sure whether to just turn the fan around, or if there is a certain way to do it. Helps appreciated.

As a kind of half-assed way to fix it, you could probably just reverse the way they are plugged in (black to red and red to black, instead of black to black and red to red) and that would probably work, but I would suggest actually removing the fans and putting them facing the right way.

I would say just turn the fan around. I remember once I had one of those handheld fans. I put the batteries in the wrong way, so the fan spun in the opposite direction. Because of this, you could feel more air in the back than the front. So I think switching the fans around would work.

Heh, just take teh side panel off and get a huge box fan like one of the ones you use in the summer and blow it into the computer.

One of my friends overclocked his CPU so much even a liquid cooling system couldnt keep it cold enough. So he opened both sides of his case and had two box fans blowing out in addition to mounting it inside a freezer unit he customized and having liquid cooling with upgraded 120 mm case fans... you would think spending all that money would have been better spent on a faster CPU so he wouldnt have to over clock....

A lot of times, It's not how much you spend, it's how much you can get out of how little. Kinda like souping up a honda civic. Why not just get a better car?

My PC never overheats. Why not just hire someone who isn't German or Russian to fix the problem?

My comp isnt good enough to has actual cooling fans. I just leave the side of my case off at all times.

Albeit with a liquid nitrogen cooling system, and only for several seconds.

My brother made the ghetto-ist air winter computer cooler ever. He took a cardboard tube, put it out his window, and made the other end of the tube go into a hole in the side of his tower. Believe it or not, his processor dropped 20 degrees, and his computer runs a lot faster now.

that would be a better way to do it instead of unpluging the wires i had to do it a couple times to my computer too...(also with a graphics card)
