heatsink for q6600 with a twist

[steveo]

right last week a got my q6600 and evga mobo up and running but noticed my temps where up nowing that i had seated the tuniq tower that i have in correctly i took the side panel of and had a look and what i didnt release at the time of me building it was this

the fan on the heatsink is blowing against the divider of my case thus sucking in its own hot air increasing my temps, now the race is on find a better heatsink thats not going to sit like this one any thoughts

ditch dialup and get broadband or if your on broadband stop looking at porn

Turn it around so the air is being thrown the other way, that fan to the left of the screen should be taking air out the machine (unless you some how managed to invert it)

With that case divider and chipset heatsink you'll find that most decent heatsinks (Noctua NH-U12, Tuniq Tower, Thermalright Ultra) won't be able to fit in the correct way i.e. facing the rear fan.

Perhaps the Arctice Freezer 7 pro might be narrow enough for it to be fitted facing the rear.

been looking up the Scythe Infinity and ninja its about the same width as the tower (near enough) and lets me have the fan blowing to the back of the case and out thoughts
