Airflow advice please (re: Lian Li A05B + Scythe Ninja)

[DutchSchaeffer]

Hi all,

Have just ordered a Lian Li A05B, which I understand has the airflow going from the rear of the case to the front.

My query is where to mount the fan for the Scythe Ninja?

Have a look at this Da Vinci picture I created, it took me hours:

Should I have the fan to the left of the heatsink so that it is pulling air, or to the right pushing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'd test both and see what the temps are like. Strange arrangement Lian-Li have with those fans, usually it is from front to rear....

Your airflow diagram is correct. The A05 has back-to front airflow.

I'd mount the CPU fan on the side toward the rear of the case, blowing through the heatsink toward the front.

Thanks guys!
