Question about CPU Cooler Positioning

[Velocities]

Hey everyone,


I'm trying to install Zalmon 9500 on a Lian li PC A70 Full Tower. I heard the way to position it is to have the fan blowing toward the ram?

Here a picture I saw most of the time it is being install. Is this the correct way of installing it?

Thanks!!

Yup thats correct. I have the A70 and 9500LED myself and thats how mines installed.

Im a bit of a noob and im sure im missing somthing here but I wouldnt you point direct the air to the back to compliment your other fan? You want to create 1 direction of air to keep maximum pressure and nothing starves for air.

Love those nice wires.

That is what I thought too. Most of the time the CPU Cooler will say to mount it with the fan blowing from the rear to take the exhaust hot air out. But maybe the fan is sucking in the air in to blow to the other side?

Screw whatever the manual says, either turn around the rear fan or turn around your CPU fan, I really thing that they should both be blowing the same direction.

I would say they both blow towards the back, seems most efficient to me.

Again I might be talking out of my ass.

Thats exactly what he is doing in that pic. The fan on the cpu cooler blows through those fins, towards and out the rear exhaust fan.
