CPU cooler

[low niche]

Your CPU cooler is mounted in an interesting way.. most people have the fans mounted in such a way that it sends the air to the exhaust fan in the back. Clean build though

i thought of this to, but in the end its blowing the air up and she isn't doing any gaming or anything anyway so I don't think it will have a problem dispersing the heat

but if it does i might change this

The mobo shroud gets I the qay

Would you put it like this?
Or on the ram?

And also alotta people say finger tight for how tight the cooler should be, but I can't get to this without a screwdriver

So so you have any opinion on tightness?

honestly don't worry too much about tightness, as long as it's on there and the pc isn't moving a lot it'll be fine. And I'd put the fan over the RAM as long as there's enough clearance for the RAM to actually fit

and I see your point, but facing the exhaust fans just gets it out much faster and more efficiently

It's kinda resting like right on the ram where it is in the second puc

This is it clipped on

Free ram heat spreader ig?

you'll be fine however you mount it, but this way is best

Don’t have the fan touching the ram, too many vibrations, you can simply raise the clip mount a fin or two higher, no harm done. The most ideal fan positions for a dual tower tower cooler is one in the front above the ram, and one in the middle. Just like you mounted the front fan over the ram, blowing INTO the fin stack, you should mount the middle fan to the front of the second fin stack, not to the back of the front stack. Again, blowing in the front to back case direction

Look at the clips, this is the most ideal setup
