| Actually 1 more thing about my zalman 9700... I have the fan facing towards the rear 120mm fan instead of pointing it towards the video card n psu... My case is a thermaltake shark n i have a evga 680i to give u guys an idea of how this looks... As if the rear case fan is parallel with the zalman 9700... I saw some pics in the zalman 9700 review and mine is set up differently and it worried me... Should i rotate it to make it point towards the video card and psu???

| Colonel Calamity | no, keep it pointing (blowing) towards the rear fan so that fan pulls out the hot air as fast as possible ![]() Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members. |

| I'm Diggin it! | I have my CNPS9500, the 9700's little brother, pointed with the fan towards the memory slots so that it blows towards the rear of the case. Orienting it up/down will just pull hot air off your video card. If it fits going front to back, just leave it that way.

| I usually make it so that the hot air faces the rear exhaust to let out the hot air. E2140 @ 375 x 8 = 3.0ghz 2x1 ocz system 1337s pc2-6400 5-5-5-15 @ 450mhz gigabyte P35 S3L eVGA 7600GT Stock 120 gig seagate ULTRA X-Finity 600w Sonata 2 w/ top fan G5 Lazer Mouse |

| If you want but I think we know what your talking about. The best way is to position the fan so that it is blowing towards the rear of the case. Your rear exhaust will help suck out the hot air giving you better temperatures. ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |
