Cant get the bloody thing to fit!!!

Am sure i am somehow supposed to fit it on with the strips of this meteal provided, but it will NOT stay on or clip on or whatever it supposed to do.

Also, as i want it blowing out the back i would position it to the front, but the fan seems to be resting on my ram!!!!

Anyone have any pics of how it should cliip on?

my fan also sits just on top of my ram...but no problem there. you can slide it up a bit when fitted. Turn the clips around so that the V shaped bit of wire is facing into the center of the cooler...and put one on each side and push the wire into groove all the way down the cooler body (all fins). You might be beter doing it out the case if you dont have much room. The thing is too big in my case also!

Okay so the clip sits like so.?

But that way the fan seems to sit quite low?.

This way???

hardc0re_tid · 15 Nov 2006 at 14:47

if you want the air blowing out the back the fan should be facing the oposite way round to what it is in the second picture.

how about cable ties/zip ties? instead of the metal clips?

Ha haaaaaaaaaaaa

Got it, didnt realise the fan was to sit SO close to the HS.

Manula wasnt too clear on anything really!

K seems to be good.

With my 6300 and rpime running its seems to be sitting about 50-52o.

Is that okay? its deffo an improvment over my older one!.

hardc0re_tid · 15 Nov 2006 at 15:26

what is it clocked to, mine on a Arctic Cooling Freezer sits about 32idle 48/49 load - Prime Beta

lol should have said,

think im now sitting on the 3.1 mark, very very happy with that!

Noni Juice · 15 Nov 2006 at 16:55

Have you got the fan the right way round?

cu3ed · 15 Nov 2006 at 17:04

Ive got the fan sitting with the back out so i blows through it towards the exit fan to the back.

Noni Juice · 15 Nov 2006 at 17:20

The back out?

Have it facing the same way as your exhaust fan.

Thanks.

He's right, the fan is mounted in the wrong direction in this photograph.

cu3ed · 15 Nov 2006 at 20:06

Yea lol sorry fixed.

Darg · 15 Nov 2006 at 20:22

He wants it blowing towards the back of the case so it's pointing the right way in the picture by looking at the shape of the fins.

cu3ed · 15 Nov 2006 at 20:31

Ahh technically i want the fan blowing the air through the ninga to the back, i got myself confused about this :confused:

joeyjojo · 15 Nov 2006 at 20:47

Put it so the blades look like they'll "scoop" the air backwards, through the ninja towards the back of the case.

cu3ed · 15 Nov 2006 at 21:10

Yep that the way it is now.

Doing much better!

jNive · 15 Nov 2006 at 23:26

lol, ITS MARKED on the fan lol. as it is on most fans

you need to look around the side edge of it for 2 perpendicular arros showing direction of blades and direction of air, pretty easy and yes, according to the closeup picture it would be the wrong way around, i have one myself on an S3.

also, youd get a better clip with the fan clips reveresed so the 'V' points to the inside rather than outside, try straightening out the V bend a little if you need to.

Anyways, a cracking cooler indeed, nice improvement over *** stock hsf :-)

cu3ed · 16 Nov 2006 at 00:02

Nah think im doing fine, now, all installed and everything working.

Very happy
