Default Re: Thermalright Ultra120 extreme N/S or E/W does it matter?

I wanted to make sure I had good circulation of air within the case. The way I have it set up blows air across the NB and on the video card as well. The case has a 120mm for intake and another for exhaust, coupled with the 120mm cpu fan, the case and contents should stay cool.
Interesting that you've set it up that way, personally I have mine direct the airflow to a case exhaust fan for removal. Also interesting you have your fan sucking instead of blowing.

I see two sets of wires from the m/board header, are you using a two fan push - pull setup?

x2 120mm fans at top of case.
That would be the deciding factor for me, I'd have the cooler in the same orientation as above but with the fan blowing the opposite way so the air is exhausted via the two 120mm fans at the top of the case

EDIT: You won't need a cooler over there for the next couple of months anyway :p

I miss NZ winters for overclocking :)
