I think my cpu cooling is the same as this

My question -Why has the cooler been designed to blow hot air over the memory modules on my DFI Ultra-D board instead of having the fan blowing the hot air straight out the back (or into another fan) and out?

thats a well designed cooler. why couldnt arctic cooling put 4 fan clip things around the heatsink instead of just 1??

does anyone else have an arctic cooler 64 pro and a dfi ultra d board? I might have put the HSF on the wrong way. (but i very much doubt this)

It doesnt realy matter which way round you put it tbh...

so i can have it blowing hot air from the cpu into the front of the case then an intake fan blowing it back? the air would go stale as it goes forward and backward all day long

You can undo the retention clip and turn it 90 Deg on the Arctic Freezer pro, thats what I have done on my Ultra-D to let the fan blow the hot air to my rear exhausts , is that not possible with the earlier model ?

its this i have
