Hi, I've currently got a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus which is set up so the fan blows air over the heatsink and out the back of the case.
The issue is the fan overhangs two free RAM slots which I'm now wanting to use so I was wondering if there is any reason I can't move the fan round to the other side of the heatsink so that it pulls the air across and out the back instead?
My current setup is very similar to the photo below, so I'm just wanting to move the fan to the other side. It's an older Intel Core i5 2500K CPU which isn't overclocked nor do I play games often so never really have issues with heat in the case. Although I'm wanting more RAM as I'm setting up a Windows test lab so will have up to 5 virtual machines running at the same time which may tax the CPU a bit.
