I'm a new builder and have a few questions about how to position my heatsink on my motherboard...
I have the Ultra 120 Extreme heatsink, with a 120mm fan... what way should it be positioned over my CPU(Q6600) and attached to my motherboard (xfx 780i). The fan is a Noctua NF 120mm.
I have the Coolermaster 830 Stacker SE and also have a question about how to mount fans for best airflow/cooling ... the case allows for 1 front, 1 back, 1 top, and 4 side fans, I have bought the extra 120mm fans for this but dont know what way the fan must face (how can you tell if it's intake or outtaking the air, if it helps explain what side to face where there is a sticker label on the fan blades in the center on one side)
please explain it as detailed as possible, as i am new to building a full computer, and know very little about the cooling/airflow.
well hope to hear back soon(so i can finish off my new build) if you need any more details about my setup please ask
