Confused isn't the word!

As long as the fans are blowing through the rad and out of the top of the case then it is fine.

I can't see which way you have them mounted in the pic, and the video doesn't exist anymore as it says you have deleted your youtube account.

So the fans on the underneath of the cooler should be facing the same way as your rear case fan i.e Exhaust. If you can see the sticker on the centre fan hub then they are the wrong way round.

The way they are in the listing is how you want them (Even though they have a sticker):

Total: £100.69

Hi Lee, They are as an exhaust but my thinking is I should have the fans on the other side of the radiator?

The fans are on the inside of the case exhausting through the radiator but should I have the radiator on the inside and then the fans mounted on to the top.

I'm currently not able to upload another picture as I am not at home but I will do later on if what I'm saying makes no sense :D

Definately self build.

You will get a compatible spec from this thread
The biggest risks for a novice builder are bending pins, cracking boards or scratching though trace circuits. With a little care this shouldn't be a problem. Some places offer insurance against such damage

Hi ArchAnGel I have already built the PC and got to say I am pleased I made the decision to do so. Next thing I want to attempt is to overclockers the 5820k to at least 4Ghz. Should don't dare at the minute and all information is proving difficult to understand. Probably over thinking...

You can put the fans on the other side if you want. The performance will be very similar either way, but you should get less dust build up.

Thanks for the advice, as my build is nearly a meter of the floor and on a wooden table I'll leave it for now and when I come to clean it at the 6 month mark I will change them over then as from what I can tell I'll need to take the fans off anyway to clean so no point in making more work for myself haha. Still getting 40c CPU temp when playing bf4 maxed out for 3 hours. So pretty good? (I think) :confused: :D

Hey Parkinson, just popped in and see you got it all up and running well done!

With a nice shiny system enjoy it and play lots of games, personally I would say if you have massive framerates and no problems, maybe no need to over clock yet?

Entirely up to you thou ! :)

Hey VKleita, thank you! It's doing well at the minute. The test for the CPU will be with Fallout 4 and AC: Syndicate but I'm hoping it won't be a problem for me.

Overclocking is in my mind but I just don't feel clued up enough yet to give it a good go and get it done properly so I'll be leaving it for a while.

If you play BF4 then give me an add on origin? = Parkinson1LG

Thanks again!

If you get stuck Chap, I'm in Yarmouth if that's any help, wouldn't be a problem to help you with overclocking etc. But the lads around here have given you all good advice, the offers available if you need it.

Aye cheers Andy. I'm near King's Lynn. You'll have to give me an add on steam?
