      I just bought a fan for my MEGAPi, the question is simple but the answer escapes me: should I put the fan in intake or exhaust mode?

        @Sage-Freke personally, I prefer the air to be blown out the case. The colling effect should be about the same.

          That was my inclination too, thanks for confirming it, now that I think about it, in the upcoming summer an intake fan will blow in hot air.

            Well... If it's hot outside it will still take the hot air in. If air goes out it needs to get in somewhere :)

            But i agree, i would use it in exhaust mode too.
