Which one of these are you looking at?

You mean the Titan Fenrir?

As far as I can see the V2 is identical to the previous version apart from fitting Socket 1155/1156.

So any of the million reviews (slight exaggeration) of the Titan Fenrir will apply.

The V2 has a different fan, the same as the Xmas edition.

Just had a look at mine, apart from the socket fitment, the V2 has different shaped fins on the fan.

If any of these reviews are of the original, then sorry.

thanks again stulid..

well its seems to review well and fits in nicely with my new cooler scheme lol..

I have one. It's not bad, but it's not good.

You can only mount it in 2 positions on AM3, not 4, so I can either have it with the fan drawing air from the GPUs, or the roof. Fantastic design that.

I should replace it really, but I just took my overclocking off instead. Far too lazy to swap a CPU cooler for a measily 400mhz increase.

This might have something to do with the mounting holes not being in a square shape, so all AM2/AM3 etc coolers have this.

Surveyor · 6 Aug 2011 at 20:19

There's at least one cooler which will fit on AM2/AM3 etc. and allow you to have the fan blowing front to back.

Scythe Ninja 3 High Performance CPU Cooler

stulid · 6 Aug 2011 at 20:22

Can you find anymore?

Surveyor · 6 Aug 2011 at 20:42

There are several that will fit using a replacement mount supplied with the cooler.

Another one which will fit using the standard mount is this:

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler

Edit:

And this one:

Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 High Performance Quiet CPU Cooler

stulid · 6 Aug 2011 at 20:55

Well starting with the TX3 it only fits two ways also

And the same for the Arctic cooler, those metal prongs in the picture are the AMD fitments.

Muel · 6 Aug 2011 at 21:04

I heard the D14 and Silver Arrow will both mount facing in all 4 directions.

Sure?

They require bolting through and you cant turn the top mounting bracket through the base of the cooler 90degrees due to the heatpipes.

skip

You asked me to find more coolers which allow you to have the fan with a front to back orientation, which I did.

The TX3 will also fit in any orientation:

stulid · 6 Aug 2011 at 21:17

And the Artic?

The base - http://www.arctic.ac/p/images/articles/75a23b0894164e3505864dfe2ffcb1d1_0.png

The AMD hooks - http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/spare-parts/175/amd-hooks-cpu-coolers.html

Surveyor · 6 Aug 2011 at 21:30

The Arctic fits with the fan front to back which is what I said it would do.

stulid · 6 Aug 2011 at 21:31

So it still only fits two ways then.

The fan being able to be turned around is the same as rotating the whole cooler 180degrees.

If the fan cant be fitted blowing up/down and left/right then its the same as other coolers.

Think back.

So you asked me to find any more coolers which allow you to have the fan blowing front to back.

I found 2 more coolers which can be fitted to the standard AMD mount so that the fan blows front to back.

As a bonus 2 of the 3 coolers I gave details of can also be fitted in any 90 degree orientation.

These aren't the same as the other coolers as they only allow the fan to blow up/down.
