Should be able to just unscrew them and flip them around if you need to. You will more than likely have remove your front panel but idk your case
Also
Your CPU fan
Is not screwed in in all 4 corners
As in it's not screwed in at all
I looked closer and noticed 😂 mildly surprised that thing hasn’t vibrated its way off
And down to the bottom
Yeah haha
Actually no
It would land on the GPU
Oof
Actually I just checked and the cpu fan is screwed in
On all 4 or just that one?
I have so many questions about that CPU fan rn
It’s screwed in tightly in all four places
The front fan is backwards tho
Still getting good FPS and it doesn’t seem to be throttling too much, but I’d still like to flip it. I held a paper up to the front, and instead of it pushing the paper, it sucked in on the paper
Meaning it’s backwards
I’m just too nervous to flip it
Don't worry about it. Cases are meant to come apart, and require a bit of forceful coercion sometimes. Just remember plastic has it's limits tho
Ok, I’m a Mac guy tho, never owned a pc before in my life until now, but I’ll give it a go
In most cases the plastic front panel is held into the metal frame via tabs. Examine the front area of case from the inside and you may see some tabs you can bend slightly out to release the locking mechanism and then the front panel *should* slide out
case fans are almost always secured via self tapping screws (usually 4) undo them and flip it around and then rescrew, the self tapping screw should bit into the holes on the otherside
my case the front panel has tabs and you can just pop it off, but also has a screw you have to take out in the bottom
"In most cases" was this pun intended? xD
I wish I was that smart
lol
Thanks guys
Maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but most cases are configured with intake on the front and exhaust in the back with top being a wild card. Your description seems to imply it pull the paper toward the case which is traditional airflow. Others advice on how to reverse is correct but I'm just wondering if I miss understood your configuration or if your trying to do a different airflow.
Oh yeah I was wondering about that
One of my friends told me it was correct
But my other one told me it was wrong
The one on the back pushes air out
You generally want more air going into the case than out, particularly if the front is filtered. By bringing cool fresh air in the front you're going to be feeding your GPUs with air toward their desired direction and your CPU. If you swap that direction by bringing air in the back and exhausting out the front, you may be bringing in your GPU hot exhaust back into your case and causing higher temperatures than needed. If you make all the fans exhaust, air will have to come in any cracks in your case which will restrict the air flow, likely making your fans louder and an increase in the amount of dust inside your case.
A perfectly balanced airflow with exactly the same amount of air coming in as is going out is preferred, but it's almost impossible to do when you have to take into account small little GPU fans and PSU fans so bring you more in than going out is usually preferred so you don't create a negative imbalance.
I usually have my top fans going out since my psu fan sucks air from the bottom and there are filters along the bottom of my case and not at the top
Anyone have a clue if a civilian can track location using an IMEI number?
If you mean could you track a phone you are simi close by by the IMEI I think it's certainly possible, one of my cyber security professors even explained how to spoof/clone another phone wirelessly without ever having contact with the phone. However to triangulate, as the word implies, you really need at least three points to get the location without playing hot/cold.
Ah I see. Hence why they say police/emergency services are the only ones who could realistically do it?
