Hi guys,
After all this time I've finally got round to changing the fan and replacing the noisy hard drive.
I am abit confused though..
This might sound abit stupid, but which direction do you guys mount the new fan to the unit??
I just took off the old fan now and noticed that its mounted so that the air flow direction actually goes outward, NOT drawing air into the unit.
(The arrow on the old fan was pointing outward)
I have heard of people doing this in computer cases to draw the warm air out but that's usually with another fan installed pumping air in.?.?
Also, this fan comes with a 4 pin Molex power adapter.
Would it be safe to connect this to the same connection as the internal hard disk and share its power using a Molex double adapter?
I don't want to blow this thing up or anything!
Thanks
