So...I just upgraded my cooler to the CLC 120.. it was the only one that would fit in my older Alienware case. The install video showed to install the radiator as an intake...but my case doesn't have spots for an intake... its mounted as an exhaust fan... but my question is...do I need to reverse my fan direction in order for it to perform better ?

    I place my CLCx 280 and GPU radiators in the case as exhaust. Two Noctua 140mm fans bring outside air into the case. This configuration works great for me. My case is a Evga DG-86 which is quite large.

    Did you have to flip the fan around ?...

    Your fan on the 120mm should be pre setup for pushing air through the rad. If the open blade side is facing away from the rad you are in push config.
