Below are the descriptions and links to parts for an older computer build that I have.
My question relates to the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro fan direction in my build. Detail below the parts and links.
I have the Asus M4N72E motherboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4N72E/
AMD Phenom X4 940 Deneb black 3.0 GHz cpu -https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro CPU cooler - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W05287313&cm_re=arctic_freezer_7_pro-_-2S7-009N-00005-_-Product
NZXT Guardian 921 RB case. - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZX5JA3989&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-9SIA0ZX5JA3989&gclid=CjsKDwjw0cXIBRCxjqnE3K3sHhIkAL1LezRmORPG1Urf-9Pba-LsoKLFqgQYHG8g3X04soOcubYwGgJdZ_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Here's my issue/question. The NZXT case has a 120mm outtake fan in the back of the case.
The Arctic Freezer 7 Pro can only mount to my Asus M4N72E board in two ways; pointing up at the power supply or down at the graphics card. It can't point out the back (where the 120 mm fan is) . I think this means that the Arctic 7 fan is either blowing hot air up at the PSU or down at the graphics card, depending upon which way I install it.
I'm thinking of putting the Phenom stock cooler back on which blows the air out the side (there's a side fan) of the case and seems to make more sense. I also don't think the PC is much quieter with the Arctic 7 over stock.
I think I thought that, compatible with AM2+, as the Arctic Freezer 7 pro states it is, meant in all situations, but it seems this is not ideal.
Should I get a different cooler?
