I received a person to assemble my PC yesterday. The CPU cooler's fan is pushing air into the case, while the rear fan is venting outside. With a gap of roughly 3-5 cm, it might impact performance or cause minor issues—check for any signs of damage.

can you show a pic? If you mean the fan at the back is an exhaust and your worried bc 'they're really close together' then you'll be perfectly fine

They should work as long as they face the same direction?

It seems the supporters are going in the wrong way. The CPU cooler needs to push air backward into the back of the case, or upward if an exhaust fan is present.

Which one is this? Unless it's a basic stock cooler not moving much, you can flip the fan—it should be straightforward since they’re typically secured with clips.

Turn the CPU fan backward swiftly so it’s completely invisible to even the fastest lightning MCQs.
