Hi!

I have an acer Predator G5900 and bought a new cooler master fan for it.

Originally the fan faced outwards from the case as you can see in this photo:

I've fitted a fan at the back of the case which is similar to the one in the photo so I guess that's blowing air out that side.

The issue with the new cpu cooler is that it can't face outwards like that on my motherboard only either facing left right up or down.. So should I just face it left towards the other fan or towards the ram etc?

Look forward to responses as my PC is opened up on a table ready to go... :)

Jay.

You would face it blowing toward the back of the case. There is usually a fan on the back panel which will then exhaust. Cool air is brought in from the front of the case.

Thanks guys. I don't know how to reply directly but my case is really limiting. I've only got that one fan at the back and I can put a small one in the front of the case at bottom right and I think that's it?

This is the picture I get when looking for your case

You should be able to face the airflow to the back and still have room for a fan exhausting air.
