This is probably a really dumb set of questions: 1) does the front fan for intake or exhaust? 2) does the stock fan work well or get a replacement?

By default the front fan is intake like any other case. Always put intake in front, exhaust in back/on top. You could flip the fan around if you wanted to make it an exhaust but that would be crazy. The stock fan works fine, it's a Silverstone branded 120mm fan that spins around 1100-1200RPM, just enough to be nearly silent. If you want more intake from the front, buy an 80mm fan (1400-1700RPM would be good) and install it below the 120mm fan with the four mounting screws that come with any new fan -- there is a cut-out for one there.

Usually, a front fan brings air in and, indeed, the product description says : "positive pressure with removable fan filter". I cannot tell you how good or bad the fan is, I returned the case before even using it.

I mounted it behind the bumper on a '93 S-10 and it didn't have enough airflow. I mounted a 7" fan to it and it worked great for three years until it was damaged by road debris. I'm going to replace it and put on a shield to protect it.

You'd have to take off your stock air cleaner and see what shape the intake is top left piece in pic is the piece that connects to your intake (round piece with ovalish raised piece)

Yuppers like a charm. When you pull the stock one off. Ther is going be a mesh-like fitting that wont allow you to putt new exhaust on. JUst wiggle that off and your good to go. It will have you drill a small hole for a pin that will hold it in place. But other than that. It is extremely easy to install. About 15 mins for me. Hope this helps.

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this.Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

There is one included with the cpu. Remember its a stock fan there are better fans out there.

Yes it comes with a stock fan, however I use a water cooler when I overclock. But the power gain and speed is incredible!

I bought mine 5 years ago. It had a stock fan and paste applied. The cpu is still going strong but I have oberclocked it to 3.0 going watercooled. I wouldn't use stock fan unless cpu is only used for office type application.

I took my camaro back to the dealer for a computer issue with this cold air intake installed and they fixed it with no questions. I would imagine if you took it back and the issue involved the mass air flow sensor they would have something to say but they didn't give me any trouble.

No catch it's the full exhaust system. I have had mine for over a week now sounds like a beast.

Return the fan.... only one blade works on mine on cool but I use it mostly for exhaust so I'm not gonna go and return it since both blades work fine on exhaust

Does you fan work at all? Because if not then it is a fuse or the motor itself. This needs to be replaced when the fan only works on High and no other speeds. Typically, at least from my past experiences.

Hello, this unit is a perfect match. I did it both ways, I cut out one and just replaced the fan/motor assembly on the other. Just remember to make sure the check valve on the discharge horn opens and closes fully. Everything else is simply total time for second option is 30 minutes. Hope this is of some service to you.

Should work fine. I have one for my intake, and one for my exhaust. You should be fine. No major signs of wear on the bearing either.

Stock :).. if not then u can always place the fan alittle higher or behind it and let it pull instead of push... or get the corsair liquid cooling etc..

It does come with a stock fan, however I didn't use the stock fan. I used a Zalman CPU fan instead.

It is hard to describe how annoying loud the stock fan is. Part of the problem is that it runs hot, so the fan kicks in as soon as you do something. Spend the $30 and get a fan.
