Very quick question

Hey Guys,

Just wondering - in my build, because I suck so much and because the cooler was such a ***** to mount, I have my cooler's fan battling with my rear fan:

Would it be better if i just took the fan off? (Can't put it on the other way)

Cheers

Turn the fan on the CPU cooler so it's drawing air through it .

The hot air will then be extracted by the fan on the rear of the case.

I would but the fan won't mount on the other side because there is a curved end for the fan, and it is mounted via rubber straps :confused:

I can't put it the other side where the RAM is because it won't fit, and I can't turn the fan around because of the rubber.

Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.

Leave the fan on the side it is now but just turn it around so the side you can see in the image above is facing the cooler.

That way it'll be drawing air through the cooler instead of blowing air through it.

I can't do that due to the rubber mounts, they only work one way

If you take the fan off, turn it through 180 degrees so the side you see now is facing the cooler, why won't the rubber mounts work?

Maybe i'm misunderstanding all this, but I will try in the morning when im less tired

Ok, I shall try that in the morning, cheers
