Prolimatech Cooler

Surely blowing heat around onto the motherboard (assuming you have a fan on each cooling tower) just makes everything hotter?

Wouldn't having one of the two vertical tower Prolimatech coolers make more sense or is it due to space requirements?

I just really love the design. I'd use a 140mm horizontal blowing up and a 140 blowing to the rear exhaust. Otherwise, it's a H60 with push/pull.

I'm also worried about the pressure on teh mobo, with anything which would be a little high, and stick out a bit.

It makes very little to the motherboard temperatures from what I found when I tested.

The best orientation to have the down draft fan is as it was intended, facing down rather than up.

The Genesis is a good cooler, certainly more efficient that a similarly priced ALC unit. It's not particularly heavy either so it won't stress the motherboard. The mounting kit is very secure.

If the fan is to face down, there would be no clearence! :rolleyes:

Could I change the orientation? Instead of seating if over the RAM, move it 90deg clockwise? Is it this universal?

Fan at the top of the heatsink facing down ie blowing air down. Blowing air up would imply placing the fan at the bottom, unless you meant pulling air up...

NO HOT LINKING

That is how I imagined it! Didn't quite realise the size of this behemoth, it's massive.

I was thinking about the fan being under the bottom heatsink, blowing/pushing the air up, that wouldn't work, which is what I was getting at.
