Airflow on HAF 922 with HD6950
I am starting this thread to gain knowledge and information, NOT for a solution.
Ambient Temperature: ~35 C
Rig Purpose: Gaming
Overclocking NOW: Not till performance drop is felt
Overclocking THEN: i5 2500K @ 4.5 GHz
OK, I have took pictures of CPU componenets from various sources and combined them, with scale, to form this image
Case: HAF 922
Board: ASUS P8P67 PRO
Cooler: Hyper 212 Plus
GPU: HD 6950 (Dimensions match to MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II)
PSU: CM Silent Pro 600 (Dimension of legtht is extended by 100mm)
NOW, what i want to know is the best cooling option for this case. On overclock.net i found an article in which it was recommeded to rotate the CPU cooler.
Case 1: ROTATED CPU COOLER
==========================
Query 1: Will cooler fit with rams?
Query 2: How will CPU cooler be fed with cool air
Case 2: AS DESIGNED
===================
[EDIT]
[strike]Query 1: How will CPU cooler be fed with cool air[/strike]
The side fan answers my query
[/EDIT]
Case 3: TOP FAN AS INSIDE
=========================
[EDIT]
[/EDIT]
Query 1: Will air flow be as i imagined or different?
Query 2: Its too much positive pressure, will it hurt air flow?
Which of the above three cases is best. Also i am welcome to other options.
