Proper CPU block mounting

[pcyyijb]

I have a swiftech gtz cpu block in an A+ black pearl case, this case mounts the motherboard upside down. Is there a special way to fit the GTZ for this configuration. Would mounting the block the wrong way up result in hgher temperatures?

You should have no issues mate.

Most blocks use springs to get good pressure onto the cpu.

It'll make good contact.

Just make sure you know which one of the barbs is the inlet.

Same case, same block :

Hey, youve mounted it the same way as me. The guide states that the inlet should be on the same side as the cpu locking mechanism. we have both done it the opposite way round, i did this logically as the inlet should be at the bottom. Not sure if it is most efficient tho, if anyone knows of any problems with this mounting let me know otherwise i might just take it that myself and webbo have done the right thing.

CPU's are symmetrical m8 so it really doesn't matter as long as you have the block up or down and not left or right if you catch my drift.
