CPU Cooler

[Grumpy]

I have an Arctic 64 Pro CPU Cooler and it seems I have put it on backwards, the fan blows the air back into the case rather than to the rear.

The cooler comes with pre-applied TIM, was just wondering if I could take it off, rotate it 180deg and then refit without applying any new TIM.

I have the cleaning kit and AS5 here so if it needs re-doing not a problem, just wondering if I could get away without re-applying TIM.

your probably best off re-applying esp as you've got AS5. ensures you've got good contact

All done, thks for the advice, the case has stopped glowing cherry red now
