Are you sure you have that cooler set up right? Normally it goes blowing air to the back of the case, does it not fit like that?

I’m able to set it up blowing air to the back of the case, but I went with the top exhaust set up

#

The instructions had directions for both

#

Why?

#

Looked nice that it was going the same direction as gpu

#

Both horizontal

#

the gpu air is going to get blown mostly sideways because of all the sideways case fans

#

Wouldn’t the gpu air go the same direction no matter the cpu cooler orientation?

#

yeah, to the side. since it's already going to the side, might as well have the cpu air going the same way, right?
also gives the cpu cooler more room to take air in when sideways.

#

There is space to the right of the cpu cooler to get some fresh air, and left side has an exhaust also

#

From what I’ve been told it is an overkill cooler so even if it’s not 100% perfect it should still work well. I’m waiting on a fab hub to be delivered later today so I can’t test to make sure just yet

#

And all the case fans were replaced with noctua so should be good for airflow either way

I get what you mean though but may not be enough space for it to go the other direction

#

Worse come to worse if I see the temperatures are bad I’ll definitely work on readjusting it
