prt · 2 Jul 2009 at 20:30

Hi all,

just bought a haf 932 case, going to replace my antec 900. question is do i need to remove my cpu cooler to be able to take motherboard out and place it in the new case ??

If so what should i clean the paste off with from the Akasa AK-967 Nero Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler.

also does the top fan come set up to pull air out or blow air in??
from what i understand it should pull air from front and out at back aswell as top then air from the side panle in is that right?? what is best config for best airflow please all.

Thank you in advance for any help

Providing the screws holding the mobo to the mobo tray in the case are easily accessible, itll be fine to remove the board with the cooler in place, just be careful when lifting the board so that the cooler doesnt snag on anything.

as above really, i've done it loads of time and use the heatsink to hold onto while i put the 1st couple of screws in

just remember to be careful and make sure you take care of static and all

i'll be making this very same move next week post some pic's when your done
