Hi, i recently build i7-8700k system with nh-d15 cooler. can anyone by looking at photos tell me i installed fans in right direction or not ? also i'm thinking of installing 2nd fan by moving gpu to x8 slot, will that create any heating problem for gpu ? (directly blowing hot air to gpu).

i have 120mm 3x exhaust fans at top, 1x at back and 2x intake in front and 1x in bottom. i get 30-37c idle temp and max 65c in gaming.

Solution
Another for vertical. Air intake from front > out via back.

I got the U14s. Does job good enough. Still a massive block of metal to cool & less strain on mobo. (My dog goes under the desk and bumps the pc a bit)

doesn't look like i can attach 2nd fan over ram (trident z) with this. my case only support 170mm cpu cooler height.
