AC Freezer 7 pro placement

GJ02 · 6 Jan 2009 at 12:15

ive noticed via looking at various photos on here and other forums that the freezer 7 pro is fitted in more than one way. is there a correct / incorrect way for it to be positioned.

assumming the fan on the back of the case is an exaust I would point the heatsink so that it blows out of this exaust

hmm i feel a cable tidy / reseat my fan day tomorrow

At the moment your taking warm air fromy our case and blowing it through the heatsink so I'd agree with Pneuomonic

looks wrong to me.. you want the fan at the front blowing to the back exhaust fan. what are you temps?

i got the AC7 Pro and it keeps my 46% overclock (loads of volts lol ) at 29c

ive reinstalled it and it does fit the correct way, was worried about the ram touching the fan. also done a bit of zip tying too.
thanks for help

Better look at mine tonight too!! Temps arent a problem but they can always be lower

Only slight problem is that the chipset HS doesn't get any air, which it does with the stock HSF. So adding a spot-fan might be useful to cool that.
