Hey everyone! I recently got back into gaming and picked up a second-hand gaming PC after quite a break, so I'm a bit out of the loop on PC stuff. I've noticed that after a few weeks of playing, especially the BF6 beta, there's something off about the fan sounds. It seems like either the shop or the previous owner set all of the fans to exhaust mode, which doesn't seem right to me. I'm thinking the bottom fans should be set to intake since they're the only ones with a dust filter. Does that sound right? Any other thoughts on why it might be this way? I'd love your advice! Here's a pic for reference: https://imgur.com/a/T0031iR. Also, I just found on YouTube that the bottom ones might actually be "reverse" fans.

From the pic, it's hard to confirm exactly which fans you have, but it does look like the bottom ones have a different blade orientation, which suggests they might be set for intake. If you have exhaust fans at the top, you should consider changing the side and front fans to intake as well for better airflow—although they might not look as sleek that way.
What case do you have? It might help figure out the fan setup better.
