Hello,

Im about to add a new CPU cooler to my system (Zalman CNPS9500-AT) Boy is it big.

Just a couple of quick questions, mainly to do with direction of fans.

The fan on the Cooler, is it blowing air onto the heat fins or awaiy from them?

My case is the Antec 900, and there is a fan directly opposite where the cooler will go. Do i want the cooler fan facing the case fan? Or away from the case?

I was initialy going to set it up lik this


CASE FAN ---> <---- Zalman Cooler (---> represent air flow)


Any suggestions?
 
depending on the other fan setups on you're system, best bet is cooler blowing over the fins towards the back case fan and that blowing air out the case :

zalman ----> rear case fan ---->
 
or u could also have it facing the exhaust fan at the top of the case, seeing as u have an antec 900.
