can i use this as an exuast fan

You can use it either way. For me personally I have the front case fan blowing air in. The rear case fan blowing out. Two top fans blowing out and two side fans blowing in. My CPU Temp is at 25 Celsius at no load.

I wouldn't at the top of a case. They're fine on the sides. But if you blow them out the top the bearings are terrible and the fans will vibrate immensely.

you can use any fan you want as an exhaust, (excluding radiators for closed loops etc)

Hi Red, I have mine mounted in the bottom of my Corsair case as there is a filter across the area and i draw the air in, but yes that's what its made for! !Just watch which direction the blades turn after you connect it to the MOBD. If its blowing the wrong way turn off the computer, remove the fan connection from the MOBD and turn it over and remount it and reconnect it to the motherboard! Be sure to ground yourself by touching the power supply case before you touch the Motherboard. That will remove any stactic charge that may have built up on your body! I tell you this as some forget and don't and mess up a part of the board. Simple Precaution !

I would definitely not advise you to use an external fan. I have used the cool spot and I still have some problems withmy computer and heating. It definitely improved my situation. Be sure to check out the cost of the fan and installation and other costs and then compare it to a new computer. Good luck.

Sure it can be used as an exhaust fan. You would need a 140mm exhaust fan port on the computer case for it to be practical though. The fan is designed to be installed on heat sinks. The fan like all computer fans is designed to run off of the computer power supply 12V connectors. The fan dimensions are 140x150x25 mm. The specifications are found here: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=54&lng=en&set=1

yes, but stay away from this fan it is not very reliable. Mine stop working after 2 months.

Not what the fan is designed for, you must follow all of the manufacturers installation instructions and recommendations. There is listed equipment for that particular installation.

I would say it's possible but that's not really what it's designed for. It's used to blow dust out of jewellery and smaller spaces. The stream of air is decent but not enough for a fan. You should just get a can of compressed air like the kind you use to blow dust out of a computer. That would work much better

No the fan isn't strong enough for that. I had to buy another fan just for my use.

Could be. I use it that way, though from the design, I think it is meant to be primarily an intake fan (positive pressure in the box). Seems to work either way.

hi , i am presently using these fans as roof cavity and under floor ventilation, they are solar powered ,but require a solar regulator suitable for operating a load with out a battery. using these fans has stabilized moisture levels under the house and reduced movement , the roof fan has cool the roof cavity . So to answer your question as a ventilation/exstraction fan yes.

Yes you can, only that the fans must be placed under the radiator, not on top because the case top cover will not let you due to space clearance.

I believe you can but they are grossly overpriced from what I remember (I researched this a while back). So, you might be better off getting a fan that comes with one - IMHO.

You can, but keep in mind this is not a powerful fan; meaning it is just fine to provide a cooling breeze inside of a tent. In addition, the motor is not really meant for prolonged use and you'll probably damage it after a week or so of constant use. Caveat emptor, it is meant for ocasional, sporadic use. As such, it does a good job, no more no less. Hope this helps.

Short answer, yes. This fan is very powerful and specifically designed to circulate any air. I find larger spaces are not a problem for this device it works very well.

The short answer is no. The longer question is why would you want to buy a HEATER to be used as a FAN since fans are for COOLING ???

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

Don't think you can use fan other than original size. Furthermore, this is really a very quiet fan.

I'm pretty sure you can put a fan in the front case - just know that it will involve some deconstruction and could get tricky. The case will easily support your typical 120mm fans up top. Too many fans will cause noise though; try to limit your case fans to under 3 if possible. Three fans would be my limit. IMO the passive fan noise outweighs the benefits, this case stays cool just from its copious ventiliation.
