HYper 212 installed right?

[Lucid155]

Did i install this right? The only reason i ask is because it would make sense to have the fan pointed towards the exhaust case fan, which i couldn't seem to figure out... http://img571.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img571/458/hyper212.jpg&via=mupload

i thought it was suppose to be vertical, not horizontal.

I thought it wasn't possible to install it like that with an AMD system. They use a rectangle, so it can only point the way your thinking. Its possible to do this with an Intel system because they use a square. I just got an Antec 300, and I'm thinking of changing my 212 from what you want to what you have. Why point the intake at the 120MM exhaust fan when I have a much closer 140MM just above it?

Take it apart, try again. Make sure you're using the correct notches for AMD systems.

I have my coolers oriented vertically pointing to the big fan at the top of my Antec 900 cases. I realize that with forced air cooling, you can move the air any way you want, but warm air wants to rise. Why fight physics.

One of these days, I'll do some testing to see which really works better.
