Help - Installing Hyper 212 Plus

[Primetime23]

Working on my first build right now. Which direction should the Hyper 212 Plus face? Does it matter which direction? I've tried to look at a few different pictures but they don't seem to be consistent.

Ideally, IMO... you want the HSF so the air is coming in from the front of the case, sucking through the fan and blowing out the back exhaust fan.

This is not always possible, so in truth, it doesn't really matter. I would make sure you apply your thermal compound using the methods listed in this thread... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/252942-29-some-notes-applying-thermal-paste-xigmatek

If your case has ventilation holes on top you can also turn it the other way, both will work good...
