I'm feeling really lost with my fan setup. I bought two pairs of Lian Li UniFan SL wireless fans, both the standard and the LCD version. I thought I had the orientation wrong, so I returned them and now I have the reverse versions, but I'm still not getting the airflow I want. I need the front of my PC to act as an exhaust and the back to draw in air. Can anyone clarify what I should be doing? Also, does anyone know if the Lian Li fans spin clockwise or counterclockwise? Right now with the reverse fans, when I spin them clockwise, the air comes out of the back. This is all so confusing; I could really use some help!

Fans usually blow air out through the back, which is where the support arms are located. If you're using reverse fans, they're designed to be more visually appealing from the other side, so you should set them up accordingly. For your situation, if you want the front to be exhaust, you definitely need those reverse fans at the front to work correctly.
But if I spin the reverse fan from the front clockwise and it blows out the back, does that mean it's actually spinning counterclockwise? I'm so confused with these things!
