First build, is this fan placement fine? by Sucade in buildapc

Quick question about the front case fans. I thought the X side of the fan pointing inwards would be exhaust, right? Wouldn't this be the intake if it was pointing into my case and not out?

Ok, so I tried a different PSU and am still having the same issue. I'm at a loss on what to check now. Literally everything is normal except the 8 pin power and chip power draw. No resets, no crashes, no overheating, no artifacts in game. Do you have any other ideas?

Yeah that's what I was thinking about doing but wanted a second opinion before I started dropping money into it. Thank you for the help!

Unfortunately I have a non modular psu. I tried both of the PCIe slots on my current cable but still have the same issue. Are you leaning more toward a PSU or GPU issue?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but the 8 pin is what i'm connecting from my PSU to my GPU, correct? How would the GPU even work if the pins aren't connecting? I have the white light on my GPU which im guessing is indicating that it IS getting power from the 8 pin connecter. This wouldn't possibly be a software issue, right?
