Yes and no, it has to do with exact placement. On my computer I have an 80mm side intake blowing on my ram and northbridge chip, just in front of the cpu and a 90mm side fan exhausting near the back of the case by the cpu. With the power supply and 2 80mm rear exhaust fans this really helps suck the heat out/off of my overclcked pentium d. If the 90mm was blowing in, all the cold air would be sucked out the rear of the computer and my case temps would sky rocket so placement and direction of airflow are key.
Just for reference my pentium d 805 loads at 62°c on air oc'd to 3.4 from a stock 2.8ghz |
