Kerikter2 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I have a Gigabyte 3D Aurora Full Tower Case, with a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H mainboard and a AMD Phenom2 X6 1075 CPU. O/S is Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Ram Kingston DDR3 (DDR3 - 1333) 667 4 sicks of 1GB size.Video is ATI Radeon HD4290 Direct X11. Audio is onboard Realtek. North bridge AMD 890GX Rev.00 \ South bridge AMD SB850 Rev. 40 I would like to know if anyone has successfully installed a Corsair A70 CPU cooler facing the back of the case on one of these mainboard's.

Boinker Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yes. that should work just fine. With the 2 fans in the rear I would actually go with an H100 as you have the fan slots to do so. And I would add a blow hole to the top of the case for some added vent out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The Corsair A70 CPU Cooler should fit perfectly fine in your chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerikter2 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Yes it all worked out well with 2 exceptions 1 is that the AMD bracket makes it hard to put on one of the cooler fans and 2 is that with the AMD socket design the fan moves the air from bottom to top or vise versa rather than front to back.

Boinker Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 As far as the situation of the cooler are you sure you cannot dismantly the torsion spring and feed it through the heatpipes?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
