Need help with NB heatsink install

[buening]

Ok so i'm trying to get the Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II installed on my NB with the massive Tuniq Tower. I've attached a few pics. I was hoping to have the fans both blow to the rear of the case. In order to do this, the ES II is sitting off center of the NB chip. Is this a problem and will it affect my cooling abilities? The NB chip is not exposed and is under the heatsink base. The only other way i can arrange it is to suck air from underneath the Tuniq and blow it directly onto my video card. The mobo is an eVGA 680i. Thanks for the help! Oh and the Tuniq isn't installed yet, just sitting in place for pictures as you can tell with the mounting bolts

Thanks for the reply! Was getting worried :lol: I have the Jing Ting for my SB, but i may compare to two and see which fits better. I may end up swapping them. I wonder how their cooling compares?

So not having the base mostly centered on the chip doesn't affect the cooling? Cool 8)

Do you think it is as effective when its off centre? I think it would be more effective at cooling if it was centred.
