h50 where in cm-690 ?

today was EPIC, EPIC DEALS, EPIC HEARTACHE, EPIC DENTS IN THE WALLET

anyway, some of the stuff i bought include the corsair H50 and the coolermaster cm-690 II lite

i read a few reviews about the H50 and it says that the fan blows the hot air into the case - i dont understnd what they are talking about

so i thought i;d ask:
1) where is the best place to mount the h50?
2) ive got spare fans, it it worth setting up pull/push?

thanks guys

EDIT:
3) oh yeah! whilst im here: where is a good place to mount the SSD in the cm-690 II lite (no ssd bracket)?

You can mount the fan any way you like (intake, exhaust). Not much difference.

Push pull isn't that much of a boost. a couple of degrees iirc. Look up reviews for comparisons.

I mounted mine on the side of the unused 5.25'' drives bays (case is Lian LI PC-A71b). Nice and tidy. Some use tape / Velcro

i THINK in the cm-690 you can mount in the roof, would this be a good idea? thanks

Stick the SSD to one of the 3.5" brackets with some double-sided tape or velcro. Or just leave it in the bottom of the case like I did for a few days.

i was thinking to buy an ocz 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, they are only £6...
