First pc

Cable management looks decent (for something without zip ties)
Also is that an E ATX motherboard?

[short tundra]

Yes it is

@short tundra you may or may not have installed the cpu fan backwards, that could and will cause cpu overheating a issues with airflow and the case temp as a whole. fix it asap

[azure perch]

Woah that’s cool

[subtle dock]

Your CPU cooler is backwards

[short tundra]

At work rn will check on my cooler when I get home, In the meantime what should my upgrade path be? Planning on the gpu asap but which one should I go to, trying to get 1440p plan on playing rust and tarkov. Haven’t actually had a whole lot of run time yet just installed windows and steam haven’t had time to test any games

Here’s a vid of the cpu cooler is it backwards?

[subtle dock]

It is, one sec, lemme draw a diagram to demonstrate.

Look your CPU cooler and your back fan are pulling against each other right now

If you flip it around

It'll be like this so the air is moving the same way

[short tundra]

Ahhh ok

[short tundra]

Does it matter which side I put it on?

Left or right of the rad

Does it matter first or second way? I would prefer the second way for ascetics.

Does this work also any idea on how to get my case fans a different color, I’ve already figured out my GPU fan

[short tundra]

Also currently have headphones plugged in but not receiving audio or showing up on my computer

[light parcel]

Yeah so basically it should be facing the front of the case

[light parcel]

Now that's better

[light parcel]

Yes it does

The first one is the correct one

Bc the air flow won't be interrupted

In the first way the fans are flowing in the opposite direction so it creates a cpu temp and case airflow problem

This is my pc, see how I've put the fan?

If it was the other way the air wouldn't be getting in the cooler neither it would be exiting the case
