There's a fan on the rear motherboard plate. Not sure what it's supposed to cool, precisely, but it was putting a lot of dust onto the motherboard

I had to replace it ( 3rd bad fan since I bought this early this year,) and I switched it's direction

Not sure what the normal direction was supposed to be, but if you see a lot of dust on the mobo, flipping this fan is an option you could consider

The fan on the Velox back plate near all the cables is an exhaust fan for the CPU.

What direction was the fan blowing before you swapped it?

It was blowing towards motherboard, so dust was building up on motherboard. When I replaced the fan, I switched it to exhaust.
