Thats a good question. I dont know for sure because I used a different propeller on mine - and it was shaped different. That being said, I would still say that one direction is up or out, but if you flip the plug over it would blow down or in. The plug doesnt have set polarity though, so you can simply turn it over if you need to change the fan direction.

With the pictured fan, none. Centrifugal force pulls air in from the center and forces it straight outwards. With straight blades the direction shouldn't matter. I have a squirrel cage fan blade with curved blades it works by the same principle but the curved blades would be more efficient in one direction. A propeller type blade would completely reverse the direction of flow if it spins the wrong way.

Here is my question that got truncated (Amazon - you nowhere near allow enough characters): What difference does it make what direction the fan spins since the fan is shaped the exact same for both directions? I'm guessing it can't make any difference. Nevertheless, I believe the dead fan I'm replacing (Fasco K100) was CW (clockwise) and the description for this fan includes "Shipped CCW". Yet I've already bought and received this "universal" fan (but not installed it yet) and on the side of the motor I see "CW" (not CCW) along with the model number. I did plug it in briefly (while carefully holding it) and the shaft spins clockwise - clockwise if you are facing into the front of the fan (the flat top spins CCW).

You want the fan to push the air out of the exhaust vent. On my fan, the housing outlet is positioned so that if the fan turns one way, the air is blown into the outlet. If it turns the other way it isn't and the fan is less effective. I suspect most housings are similarly designed.

It oscillates inside the fan. It's hard to explain. It does not turn side to side. It works great! It's a very good fan.

The answer is Yes. This fan will rotate 360 degrees, and tighten to any position in that rotation that you desire. It will remain in that position, as it has a lever on each side of the fan head that are used to tighten the fan head to whatever position desired. It's a great fan. It blows a lot of air. It seems to be very well made. It's slightly noisy as a result of the blowing air volume, not the fan parts.

The direction the fans can spin easily changes with the remote. The two fans can have tandem or opposing spin. I've packed it away for the fall, so can't measure it for you. The details provided are accurate, I'd check there for dimension

John, the fan does not turn frtomside to side. The grate in front of the blades rotates either clockwise or counter. It does create a very nice breeze. I use it all the time.

The fan does run in reverse. There's a switch on the side at the top that allows one to change fan direction. I purchased a remote through Amazon that works just fine with it.

It doesn't. You do need to have a fair air flow. I have 5 fans in my case additional to the ones on the Graphic card and honestly it's more than necessary. Neither fan ever starts spinning around like crazy because of the heat, it always stays at a nice temperature even when I'm having a high performance.

Hi, yes this is normal. It only polls one fan, the other fan is slaved to that fan. It cannot make them both spin at independent speeds.

The fan itself rotates left to right, or you can set it to a stationary position. Also the fan does adjust up and down, so you can angle it for how you want the air to blow. Very happy with this fan. I have two

The fan speed/direction is set using the remote and the speed/direction remains set each time you turn on the fan unless you change it using the remote. I don't see why it would make any difference if you use a 3-way switch or a single pole switch.

I do not know if it is the same as the reference. However, I can confirm that the shroud on the fan will duct the air from the intake out of the back of the card. As the fan spins faster you will be able to feel an increase in heat and air volume.

If your fan supports the remote reverse function, the bottom button on the round speed selector (6 o'clock position)is reverse. These fans reverse by interrupting power to the fan for 1/2 a second and then powering it back on. This happens automatically when you hit the reverse button. If your fan doesn't reverse this way (has a switch on the motor body somewhere to reverse) then the reverse function on the remote will not work. Hope this helps!

The fan only oscillates side-to-side. It can be tipped up and down at any angle but does not oscillate up and down. It will, however, hold its up or down angle while oscillating side-to-side.

They designed this fan so that you can optimize the individual fan orientation to your liking. Although it can be somewhat limited you are able to freely adjust the fans' placement to your liking. If I were you I would change the fan position to cool that are of your laptop more effectively but ultimately it's up to you what you do with it.

No, you dont. At least not in my setup, dunnow how is yours. Check where your fan is, and how it is installed. This fan has 4 screws just like the original

When you extend the fan, it will pull all the way off of the base and you can then turn the base around and put the fan back on it so that the base is facing the other direction. So, in a word, yes!

Fan tilts up and down only. Fan oscillates side to side or remains still. So you could let it oscillate to the left or right and then stop the oscillate.
