Problems installing H50, Help?

Reaper652 · 29 Apr 2010 at 18:07

My H50 arrived at 8:30 this morning and ive started to install it. Got the old cooler removed and everything cleaned. Went to start organising which way i was going to mount the H50 whn i realised i only have room for 1 fan :eek:

. Cpu mount on my MB (msi p43 neo-f) is to far towards the back of the case (cm storm scout). :mad:

So it will be pretty hard to remove the stock fan from the back as its zip tied in everywhere, and id ideally like to keep it because of the switched red lights, but will it be powerfull enough? Or should i just lose the bling and use the corsair fan?

Any other suggestions will be very welcome too.

Come up with a solution, gonna remove the top 140 and replace it with the 120 red led, use the corsair fan+rad on back extraction then do a ghetto mount of the 140 as intake in the drive bays.

This sound reasonable or is there some serious flaw i am missing?

Right i got that problem sorted, 1 last thing though.

Since i can't get push-pull anymore should i have the fan pushing or pulling air through the rad (exausting from case).

All done and happy

Thanks for the help and ideas guys!

Running my e7500 @stock under prime maxing at 50/45, average of 47/43. Not as drastic as i anticipated, but still a good 10-15 degree drop from intel stock cooler. Cant find idle temps though as my sensors are stuck at 42/41...

Anywho thanks again.
