Hi, I'm using the i7 4790 on a H3 chipset. Not the 4790k, the 4790. It's not overclocked and it's at 3.6ghz so you may wonder why I want to liquid cool. Here's the deal, my current cooler (TX3) has the fan facing down towards the graphics card, I do not like this, as I want the fan to be pulling air from the front of the case and back out of it through the heat sink. But I can't turn the fan so it's facing sideways because my RAM is being pushed by the fan because the width of the heatsink including the fan is too wide to fit on my motherboard. So that's how I got the fan in that position. It's really annoying.

Can't you just move the fan slightly higher on the heatsink and turn it sideways? This doesn't seem like that great of a reason to spend $60 on a liquid cooler.
