Hello all!
I'll get the parts list out of the way.
Hadron air case
EVGA mITX ACX cpu cooler
EVGA Z97 Stinger motherboard
Corsair vengeance ram
4690k
gtx 980 reference cooler
I have recently done a hadron air build and have a couple of questions about the way the cpu cooler is mounted along with maybe using a low profile ram heatsink.
Right now I have the cpu cooler mounted vertically so it blows from the bottom to the top of the case if that makes sense? The problem with this is that it "touches" my ram heatsink. I don't think it will hurt anything but does anyone know if low profile will be small enough not to touch the heatsink? Something like Vengeance LPX ram is what I had in mind.
The other question is. What about mounting the cpu cooler horizontally. Has anyone noticed any difference in cpu temps with a vertical vs horizontal position? Normally I would just test this myself but I fear I would have to tear apart the entire computer due to how difficult it is to work in the cases small space. I also had a very difficult time mounting this cpu cooler, so if anyone has tips on that I would greatly appreciate it.
If anyone is curious about temps. With my fans set @40%, a 4ghz OC and a ~.1 undervolt I am maxing out around 70C. Not bad for this small of a case.
Anyhoo thank you for any input on this! (:
