Hey Guys,

Just wondering - in my build, because I suck so much and because the cooler was such a ***** to mount, I have my cooler's fan battling with my rear fan:

Would it be better if i just took the fan off? (Can't put it on the other way)

Cheers
 
Turn the fan on the CPU cooler so it's drawing air through it .

The hot air will then be extracted by the fan on the rear of the case.

I would but the fan won't mount on the other side because there is a curved end for the fan, and it is mounted via rubber straps :confused:
 
I can't put it the other side where the RAM is because it won't fit, and I can't turn the fan around because of the rubber.
 
Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.

Leave the fan on the side it is now but just turn it around so the side you can see in the image above is facing the cooler.

That way it'll be drawing air through the cooler instead of blowing air through it.
 
Turn the heatsink around

Try reading what the OP said.

And sort your signature out:

You may use a signature (commonly used in email messages) in your posts. You can specify in your profile a signature to use at the bottom of your posts. When you post, there is an option to use your signature. A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k. Images containing mostly very large words or animated .gifs will not be permitted. You may also add 1 consecutive lines of normal or smaller text directly above or underneath the image with no spaces inbetween image and text. If no images are used then up to 4 consecutive lines of normal or smaller text is permitted. Do not pad out your text lines with blanks lines. A line of text is defined as having a maximum length of 400 pixels. If you want to turn the signature off in the future, you can come back and edit your post. If you have specified a signature in your profile, the box will be automatically ticked for you.

The forum Dons/Admins reserve the right to judge individual signatures, particularly those deemed to contain material of an adult or offensive nature. If the Dons/Admins think the signature is unsuitable for a family orientated forum, then it will be removed. If the user then replaces it without making changes, they will be suspended.

I can't do that due to the rubber mounts, they only work one way
 
Leave the rubber mounts exactly as they are.

Take the fan carefully off the rubber mounts, turn it through 180 degrees so the side now against the cooler is on the outside and pull the rubber mounts back through the holes in the fan.
