slapnuts Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Hello all I just received the final parts to build my new rig...Yeah. Anywho I was just wondering what would be the best way to orient my cooler( Noctua NH-D14)? Should I exhaust it out the back of my case or should I exhaust it out the top? Here's what I have: Asus Rampage III extreme Corsair Obsidian 800d i7 930 Corsair HX 850 HIS Radeon HD5870 6 gigs Corsair Dominator win 7 WD 1 ter black edition samsung dvd writer 3 120mm xigmatek fans 3 140mm xigmatek fans logitech G15 keyboard logitech MX 518 mouse HANNS 28" monitor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That_Canadian Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Orientation was a build topic with my rig as well. OCZ Vendetta 2 on a M2N-Sli Deluxe forces the orientation of the cooler to blow out to the top. Mounting clips ( that came with the motherboard) cant be rotated due to motherboard component placement ( ram slots) Thankfully CM690 has placement for both bottom in and top out ventilation Just go with however the case has it layed out, and it may work to go either way.
