Hi all.

I am rebuilding my PC and have a question about mounting my CPU cooler (a Hyper 212+). I am planning to overclock so I would like to get the cooling setup right.

Heres an image from inside my case (Antec 300)

As you can reckon, the cooler is right in the top back corner of the casing, ungenerous the two exhaust fans. The orientation you see is how the cooler's instructions showed it.

I am inexperienced with cooling stuff and then I mentation I would ask you guys for help. My concerns are as follows...

1. The size of this thing seems to exist block air flow from the case through the top exhaust fan.

2. The fan sucking aviation through the cooler seems to be competing with the exhaust fan for ventilate (they are going in different directions).

3. It could be blowing sweltry air over the RAM and onto the hard drives.

I have some options with this tank, including reversing the fan direction and rotating the whole thing 90 degrees. In that respect testament be 3 intake fans in this case, ii on the front panel (below the 5.25" bays) and one unofficially blowing into the nontextual matter card.

My thoughts were that I should backward the direction of the fan so it blows into the heatsink rather than sucks out of information technology. In either orientation the cooler is going to have an exhaust devotee on the other lateral close away sucking air through, soh this would comprise kind of like a push/pull setup. What do you guys think of that idea? Also, would you bequeath the heatsink in its current position or rotate it 90 degrees?

Thanks

1. I wouldn't worry besides much about block airflow. As for
2. Your fan should comprise blowing air through the HS,towards the rear case fan. It should consume towards the top or rear so the hot air from the ice chest is expelled exterior of the case.
3. See #2.

As for rotating it 90 degrees, I would probably try it both ways to hear what worked punter in my installation. I take over a different case and different fan layout, and I found exhausting towards the rear lawsuit fan worked best for Pine Tree State.

Hi altogether.

2. The fan sucking air through the ice chest seems to exist competing with the exhaust fan for air (they are exit in different directions).

2. Your lover should be blowing air through the HS,towards the stern case fan. It should run down towards the acme or rear and then the hot air from the cooler is expelled out of the example.
This...except that the fan that comes with the Hyper 212+ is premounted on plastic clips, I think, and unless on that point was a mistake at the factory, it should be blowing into the heatsink, not towards your remembering sticks. If IT is blowing over the computer storage sticks, unquestionably reverse it - it was decorated incorrectly.

As for orientation, I think most people are more successful having the fan go towards the binding rather than the top. Don't know wherefore, aboveboard. But I can say that coolermaster fans do not likeable to be mounted horizontally (which is how it would beryllium lining dormie). The bearings will constitute loud.

I had a tug-pull dual sports fan setup on my Hyper 212+ until a mate of days ago (it's acquiring frore outside later on entirely), and it did make a departure, so upright having the fan orient towards the gage isn't exactly the equivalent of a push-pull setup.
