Will this work as an intake fan?

Yes.Just be mindful of which way it's facing.I have a push-pull with 2 of these on my CPU cooler.

These fans are really quiet. But this fan does not move a lot of air and it can not be mounted to a metal grate as an intake. Their is a magnet in the fan that will pull the blades toward the metal in the case if mounted as an intake.

it's only a fan. It will blow whatever temperature air from the area you place it in. The movement of air will feel cooler then stationary air.

Yes, you can use it as a fan only if you wish however its not a very powerful fan.

Hello there..It is always preferable to put rear fans blowing out. But be sure you are creating a single air flow direction. You may not need intake fans and create enough negative air pressure within the case that air will enter through any other openings, but it's also preferable to put filtered intake fans with more capacity than the outlet fans so you always keep the dust where it should be and a fresh computer case.

No... It's a big fan and needs the full diameter of the housing. But Broan makes smaller fans that may meet your needs bng

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.

Yeah it will but having another fan for intake or possibly another exhausting couldn't hurt. Worked fine for me tho pulling through a 6 inch filter and cooling my 1000

I installed an intake fan since my power supply has a 120mm fan that is providing the exhaust functionality. That setup seems to keep everything pretty cool (<40 C).

I would agree that the answer is a no. That is not the intention of this fan and not a proper use of this style of fan.

Yes, this fan is very powerful on the intake and the exhaust, just flip the mounting bracket it comes with.

You're better off getting a regular fan. This fan is terrible and noisy and a waste of money. But the answer to your question is no. Unless you're crafty and can make something to hold it. Sorry :(

Maybe ....... it would depend on the watts that the fan might draw .... try to see specs before you buy and compare to watt draw of the fan

I would not use this for what you have in mind, it would over heat you need to find one that has a large heat sink with a fan.

it can b a intake or xhaust to the case ,had it mounted to top as intake but was to loud, was setting right beside me. am going to try it as a xhaust in another case with fan speed controler

Short answer, yes. I use these as 2 intake fans, but they are built for open air movement. If you want fans for a radiator or cooler, look into the 'SP' fans. Those are built for those applications.Directionally, the corsair sticker is the pull side, iirc. so corsair logo facing the inside of the case.
